Notes
🔥 Amber’s Tips for an Amazing Deep Dish Pizza
Don’t rush the bake. A deep-dish skillet pizza needs that full oven time—let the top get golden and the layers heat all the way through for the best cheesy melt and crispy edges.
Crisp your bacon first. Even pre-cooked bacon benefits from a few minutes in the oven or microwave before layering—it’ll stay crisp, not soggy.
Go easy on the sauce between layers. A little goes a long way. Too much sauce = soggy middle.
If the cheese isn’t browned, hit broil. After baking, switch your oven to broil for 1–2 minutes to get that bubbly, golden top. Just keep a close eye so it doesn’t burn.
Let it rest before slicing. Give it 5–10 minutes after baking so the cheese settles. It slices cleaner and holds together better.
Use the right size skillet. A 10–12" cast iron pan works best. Too small and it overflows, too big and it gets dry.
