- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

- Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the filling into the skillet, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
- Top the filling with 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan for extra flavor.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a circle slightly larger than the skillet.
- Drape the dough over the skillet, tucking the edges down the sides to seal the filling inside.
- Cut small slits in the dough to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Brush the dough with a beaten egg for a shiny, golden crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and puffed.
- Cool for 5–10 minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly.
