Real Pan Pizza

I got this idea from my good friend Brian at EatDrinkMadison. Grab yourself a frozen pizza from the store.  I’m not talking an individual one.  We’re talkin’ a man-size ‘za here.  De-box and unwrap it and then let it sit on the counter for 20-30 minutes.  Waiting is the hardest part.

When it’s defrosted, get a frying pan that’s big enough to hold the pizza.  Brian recommends folding the pizza over.  I didn’t find that necessary.  Lightly grease the bottom of the pan.  I used olive oil.  If you want to mimic the Pizza Hut deep-dish taste, then go heavy on the grease!

Put the pizza in the pan, add a little water, cover and cook on medium heat for five minutes.  Remove lid, cook until done, and mega ENJOY!
