About

OK, this may not be as quick as pizza delivery, but it’s the fact that it’s homemade which is important. The difference with this pizza as opposed to others, is that there’s no waiting around for the dough to rise; it just goes straight into an ovenproof frying pan, topped with whatever you fancy, and baked. The heat from the outside of the pan acts like a heat blanket around the dough, making it light and airy as it cooks.
