Cooking method

Cooking time: 25 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make a minute pizza in a skillet? Start with the dough. Gather your ingredients — this amount makes two thin 8-inch (20 cm) pizzas. Use 20% sour cream and large eggs. To make the dough: crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat them with a mixer or whisk until fluffy and smooth.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Add the salt, sour cream, baking powder, and sifted flour to the eggs. Sifting aerates the flour so the crust comes out light and rises well. Keep in mind you may need a little more or less flour than the recipe calls for — go by the consistency of the batter, not the exact amount.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Whisk (or mix) the batter until smooth. It should be about the consistency of pancake batter — fairly thick, not runny. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the flour absorbs the liquid and the batter reaches the right consistency. Scooped up on a spoon, it should slowly fall off rather than pour off.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    While the batter rests, make the toppings. Grate the cheese on the coarse side of a grater and slice the hot dogs into rounds or ovals, as in the photo. Any cheese works here — hard, semi-hard, or soft like mozzarella. Just make sure it's good quality, tastes great, has no milk-fat substitutes, and melts well. You can swap the hot dogs for any other sausage or deli meat.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet and lightly brown the hot dogs on both sides over medium heat. You can skip this step, but I liked the pizza better with them browned.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Set the skillet you'll cook the pizza in over low heat and brush it lightly with odorless vegetable oil. Spread half the batter over it, smoothing it out evenly with a wooden spatula.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Brush the top of the dough with ketchup and sprinkle with seasoning. I used a pizza seasoning blend, but dried basil or oregano work perfectly here too. My ketchup was homemade — put up from fresh tomatoes in the summer. If you want to add fresh tomatoes, scoop out the seeds and juicy centers first so the crust doesn't get soggy.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Arrange the hot dogs over the dough.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Sprinkle the pizza generously with the grated hard cheese.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over low heat for 8 minutes. Because the crust is thin, the pizza bakes through nicely, the cheese melts, and it's ready to eat. Make the second pizza the same way. Serve hot, cut into portions. Enjoy!

  • If the pizza cools down, just reheat it in the microwave to melt the cheese again. Hot pizza is much tastier than cold.
  • Always wash your eggs before using them, since even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. A food-safe wash and a brush work best.
  • You can find good pizza sauce recipes in this catalog: Pizza sauce.
  • You can swap the ketchup for tomato paste, canned tomatoes in juice, or fresh tomatoes. Use whichever you like, to taste.
