Ingredients for the Crust

- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 packet baking powder
- 7-8 tablespoons flour

Ingredients for Topping

- Pizza sauce (preferably homemade)
- 1 piece spicy sausage
- 2-3 slices of ham
- 1 red onion
- Bell pepper (any color)
- 4-5 champignon mushrooms (depending on size)
- Slices of chili pepper (to taste)
- 60 g cheese
- A little butter for greasing the pan

Step by Step - Preparing Skillet Pizza

1. Preparing the Topping: Start by preparing all the ingredients for the topping. Slice the sausage, clean the mushrooms and slice them, and cut the ham into strips. The onion should be sliced julienne, and the chili and bell pepper into small slices. Make sure you have all the ingredients ready for quick and efficient cooking.

2. Preparing the Dough: In a bowl, beat the egg with the salt using a whisk. Add the yogurt and oil, mixing well. In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well until you get a dough thicker than pancake batter. This will be the perfect base for your pizza.

3. Cooking the Pizza: Grease a non-stick pan with a little butter. Use a spoon to spread the dough evenly across the entire surface of the pan. Add the pizza sauce, then arrange your favorite toppings: sausage, ham, onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, and chili. Grate the cheese on top.

4. Final Cooking: Cover the pan with a lid and place it on low heat on the largest burner of the stove. Let the pizza cook for 10 minutes. Do not open the lid during this time to allow the steam to help cook the crust.

5. Checking and Serving: After 10 minutes, check if the crust has become crispy. If not, let it cook for a few more minutes. When the pizza is ready, carefully transfer it to a plate, slice it, and serve it with ketchup or simply to enjoy the authentic taste.

Practical Tips for a Perfect Result

- Choose fresh ingredients: Opt for fresh vegetables and meat for better flavor. Quality ingredients make a difference in dishes.
- Experiment with toppings: Don’t limit yourself to the recipe! Try different combinations of cheeses, meats, or vegetables. Skillet pizza is extremely versatile.
- Cooking temperature: It is important to cook the pizza on low heat to avoid burning the crusts, ensuring it cooks evenly.
