I may use this idea if I do "Dinner on my Lap" (oh, cr@p - now I've shot my mouth off and committed )
This was amazing - I used King Arthur Flour's Pizza flour and the food processor with Jean's recipe for the dough. I whipped up a very simple red pizza sauce with tomato sauce, tomato paste, red wine, garlic pwdr, and herbs.
I had some issues with enough room to roll out the dough so the pizza wasn't a pretty as it could have been but it was the best classic pizza we've had in ages.
When the dough has risen you heat the oven to 450. Roll out the dough so it's big enough to fit in the cast iron pan with 1 1/2" so that it can be fluted. Put the dough in the ungreased cast iron pan - flute the edges.
Spread with the sauce, add your toppings, and cover with cheeses.
When the oven is hot - get a burner hot (preheat if electric) Place cast iron pan with pizza in it on the burner for 3 minutes. Put in oven and bake 20 minutes.
I know I shouldn't yell but - IT WORKED!!!!!! I can now have pizza when I want it. I'm going to look for a slightly bigger square cast iron pan. You don't really need to grease the pan if it's well seasoned. " />

You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
