Frying Pan Neapolitan Pizza

Frying pan Neapolitan pizza is a tasty and easy to make cheats pizza requiring no yeast and no oven. Make this excellent pizza in a pan in just 30 minutes!

Folks I think you're just going to love this versatile frying pan Neapolitan pizza recipe.

I mean have you ever been away camping or staying somewhere where you don't have an oven and really fancy a pizza?

Well this frequently happens to us and often we just end up driving to get a pizza from the nearest pizza restaurant or ordering one in.

Then I realised after some experimentation that it is possible to replicate a Neapolitan pizza, as long as you have a stove and a frying pan!

Ideally you do need to have a grill too so that you can place your pizza, once made in the pan, under it to melt your mozzarella cheese.

However if you don't have a grill, you can put a large lid on the frying pan / skillet whilst it's on your stove and that should do that trick.

The only difference there is that you won't get the grilled / slightly charred crust.

Even then this frying pan pizza is still an amazing and delicious substitute for not having an oven!

A traditional Neapolitan is a really simple pizza made with just fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and has a thin and soft crust.

So that's why I choose basic toppings here and I also why I made my own really simple pizza dough using self-raising flour.

The frying pan pizza dough is made with no yeast and requires no proving so it can be cooked straight away.

I also made my own pizza sauce using a tin of chopped tomatoes for convenience.

You could easily just buy a jar of pizza sauce if you're short of time or don't want to make your own. I do recommend making your own though. It tastes so much fresher!

Notes

* If you don't have time to make your own you could just buy a jar of pizza sauce. But I seriously recommend making your own as it doesn't contain all the additives a shop bought ones does and the nutritional label will be invalid.
** Any leftover homemade tomato sauce can be stored in your fridge for up to a week in a sealed jar or can be frozen.
