| Boilerpipe Text | Recipe FAQs
My crust turned out soggy after cooking. What gives?
It could be two things. First, make sure you parbake your crust in the oven on high heat until the bottom is solid and golden brown. This should take about 5 - 8 minutes.
Next, ensure you're using pizza sauce and not pasta sauce! Pasta sauce has not been reduced enough to remove a lot of the extra liquid like pizza sauce is. A really fluid sauce can cause your pizza to be limp and soggy.
How do you make homemade pizza in a cast iron skillet?
It's super easy - I use this technique in my
Cast Iron White Chicken Pizza
.
Essentially, you're going to partially cook the dough right in the skillet on the stovetop. Once it has a beautifully golden brown bottom, add your toppings and bake in the oven on high heat.
I recommend a large cast iron for a perfectly-sized "personal pizza".
Can I freeze homemade pan pizzas before baking?
Yes, these freeze beautifully! And you can have frozen pizza on-demand whenever your family has a craving.
1. Parbake the crust for 8 minutes, then let cool completely.
2. Place the partially-baked crusts on a cardboard pizza round topped with parchment paper.
3. Add your sauce, cheeses, and any toppings you like.
4. Wrap the entire thing in plastic wrap (I do two layers to ensure it's completely covered), then add to the freezer.
These keep in the freezer for up to 4 months. When you're ready to bake, use the parchment paper to easily transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.

Quick Homemade Pizza Dough
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the warm water.
2 cups warm (not hot) water
Add the active dry yeast and sugar; let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
2 packets active dry yeast,
2 tablespoon granulated white sugar
Pour in the olive oil and gently stir with a spatula until combined.
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Add in the flour and salt; mix with the spatula until a slightly sticky ball forms. Create a dough ball (using a bit more flour if needed.)
4 cups all-purpose flour,
2 teaspoon salt
Transfer your dough ball to a floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth.
Split the dough in half and roll them into your desired shape. Transfer the dough to two sheet pans sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Poke holes in the dough with a fork to avoid the crusts puffing up. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F.
Parbake
the crusts for about 5 minutes.
Remove the par-baked crusts and spread tomato sauce on each. Add your cheese, meats, and veggies on top.
8 ounces pizza sauce,
8 ounces mozzarella cheese,
6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese,
pepperoni,
fresh basil,
chopped mushrooms
Bake for 10 - 13 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the oven and brush the crusts with garlic butter.
garlic butter
Top with any other toppings you like: crushed red pepper, parmesan flakes, grated cheese, balsamic glaze, etc. Enjoy!
Freezing Instructions:
Parbake the crust for 8 minutes, then let cool completely.
Place the partially-baked crusts on a cardboard pizza round topped with parchment paper.
Add your sauce, cheeses, and any toppings you like.
Wrap the entire thing in plastic wrap (I do two layers to ensure it's completely covered), then add to the freezer.
These keep in the freezer for up to 4 months. When you're ready to bake, use the parchment paper to easily transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.

There's nothing like a quick **Homemade Pan Pizza** coming fresh out of the oven to really make your day. Whether you make this for lunch, dinner, or switch it up to make a breakfast pizza - this recipe will give you the tips & tricks to make the best pie\!

Homemade pizza is the best. It's so much less expensive than buying delivery. You can make your own toppings and flavor combos. And - you have a fresh pizza ready in less than 15 minutes. *Pizza decorating party*, anyone?

### **The Coined Breakdown**
- Total Cost per pizza: \$2.69
- Total Cost (for 2 pizzas): \$5.37
- **Those Other Guys:** \$16.99 per pizza

## Ingredients


- **[10-Minute No Rise Pizza Dough](https://www.coinedcuisine.com/no-rise-homemade-pizza-dough/) -** Although you can make pan pizzas with store-bought dough...the brand-name stuff simply can't compare to my super quick pizza dough recipe! It puffs up beautifully, has the perfect balance of flavors, and gives you that extra sense of accomplishment. You won't regret making it homemade\!
- **Pizza Sauce -** Grab your favorite flavor of pizza sauce; or, make your own. I usually get some with lots of garlic & basil flavors.
- **Toppings -** Go crazy with your favorite proteins, veggies, and fruits on top of the pizza. And don't forget the cheese\!
## Variations and Substitutions
**BBQ Chicken Pan Pizza:** Spread barbecue sauce onto the crust, and top with mozzarella, provolone, shredded chicken, sliced red onion, and jalapeños.
**Pesto Veggie Pizza:** Spread some [nut-free pesto sauce](https://www.coinedcuisine.com/3-minute-nut-free-spinach-basil-pesto/) on the crust, followed by goat cheese and mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and caramelized onions.
**White Chicken Pizza:** I make a [Cast Iron White Chicken Pizza](https://www.coinedcuisine.com/cast-iron-white-chicken-pizza/) that would also work really well in a sheet pan\!
Need more inspiration? I list some additional ideas for sauces, cheeses, and toppings below.
## How to Make Homemade Pizza in a Sheet Pan
Assembling a pizza is a pretty straightforward process; you really want to just add items you like. So, I'm gonna give you guys my top tips & tricks to have the **best** homemade pan pizza - every time\!
#### **The Dough**
1. Every good pizza starts with an amazing dough. Yeah, you can use store-bought stuff to save a little time... but I have a recipe on Coined Cuisine for [homemade pizza dough](https://www.coinedcuisine.com/no-rise-homemade-pizza-dough/) that's made in 10 minutes. It's absolutely stellar\!
2. Our dough recipe from above is going to be stretchy enough to shape into any sort of shape you need. I usually make my homemade pizzas on a 9x13 cookie sheet.
3. Also, if you're going with a homemade yeast dough like we're using today, be sure to poke holes all throughout the dough before parbaking (see below). That way, it won't puff up too much in the oven.


#### **The Sauce**
1. I'm not super picky about my sauces... but some people are, and that's okay! You want to go with a store-bought or homemade sauce that is your favorite. Garlic & basil are my go-to tomato based flavors.
2. You can get creative with your sauces too... try a **white sauce**, **BBQ sauce**, or a **garlic + herb base**\!
#### **The Cheese**
1. You need to shred your own cheese. I know, I know! It's one more dish to wash and a little more arm work. But it's truly ***so*** worth it. You get a much better melt, a better flavor, and you're able to make your own cheese blends\!
2. Speaking of blends... Don't be basic with your cheese. Add at least two different types of cheeses on your pizza. This recipe uses mozzarella and Monterey Jack, but you can also use **mozzarella + gouda**, **pepper jack + provolone**, or **goat cheese + parmesan**\!
#### **The Toppings**
1. This is when you can go crazy. Pizza combinations are literally endless! Our family's favorite is **turkey pepperoni + sun-dried tomatoes + pesto**. You can also try **Italian sausage + sweet peppers**, or **seasoned chicken + caramelized onions**.
## Recipe FAQs
**My crust turned out soggy after cooking. What gives?**
It could be two things. First, make sure you parbake your crust in the oven on high heat until the bottom is solid and golden brown. This should take about 5 - 8 minutes.

Thank you! This was my first time ever making any kind of pizza or bread product and it was so easy (minus the fact that the dough kept sticking to my hands! I looked like a dough monster). My pizza was not the least bit pizza-shaped but it tasted amazing. Thank you for making this less intimidating and more delicious\!

- Poke holes in the dough with a fork to avoid the crusts puffing up. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F.
- [Parbake](https://www.coinedcuisine.com/post/cooking-terms-explained) the crusts for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the par-baked crusts and spread tomato sauce on each. Add your cheese, meats, and veggies on top.
8 ounces pizza sauce, 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, 6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, pepperoni, fresh basil, chopped mushrooms

**Freezing Instructions:**
1. Parbake the crust for 8 minutes, then let cool completely.
2. Place the partially-baked crusts on a cardboard pizza round topped with parchment paper.
3. Add your sauce, cheeses, and any toppings you like.
4. Wrap the entire thing in plastic wrap (I do two layers to ensure it's completely covered), then add to the freezer.
These keep in the freezer for up to 4 months. When you're ready to bake, use the parchment paper to easily transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
