Instructions
Preheat and Prep the Skillet
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place butter and olive oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet and set over low heat until butter melts. Swirl to coat the entire surface and sides.
Press the Dough
Stretch the pizza dough to fit the skillet. Press it in and push the edges up the sides about 1 inch to form a crust. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Add Toppings
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, then layer pepperoni on top. Dust with garlic powder, oregano, parmesan, and red pepper flakes.
Bake the Pizza
Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and the cheese is bubbly with slight browning on top.
Rest and Slice
Remove from the oven and let the pizza rest in the skillet for 5 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge and slide onto a cutting board before slicing.
