Like so many families, ours always enjoys a good pizza. I am a little partial to a thick, crisp crust full of cheese, sauce, veggies, and sometimes pepperoni or sausage.
Stuffed Crust Cast Iron Pizza
An excellent recipe for a deep-dish style pie is Stuffed Crust Cast Iron Pizza. The cast iron pan is first heated up on the stovetop so that the crust starts to crisp as soon as it hits the hot pan. After stuffing, you finish it in the oven.
