Cast Iron Pizza

Pizza

1. If using a grill, light a chimney filled with briquettes or lump charcoal
2. If using an oven, preheat to 500 degrees with the cast iron pan in it
3. When the briquettes are ashed over and white, dump in the coals, put on the grate and add the the cast iron pan - put on the lid
4. Now prep the pizza: flour your work surface well, and shape dough into a 12 inch circle (as best you can) leaving border
5. Add some flour and cornmeal to a pizza peel, and top with the rolled out dough
6. Spread on some sauce, and add mozzarella, red onion, scatter spoonfuls of the Calabrian chili paste, and finally add the Soppressata and oregano
   
7. Make sure you can shake the pizza on the peel, cuz if it won’t here it won’t make it into the pan
8.  Spread about a teaspoon of oil on the pan with a brush, and carefully slide in the pizza
9. Immediately put on the lid or close the oven door and cook until browned, puffy and beautiful – likely 7-10 minutes
10. Remove, shave Parmesan over the top and drizzle with the hot honey

‍

Sauce

1. Combine all ingredients and blend using an immersion blender (but it doesn't have to be in the can like I did) set aside

‍

Hot Honey

1. Put honey, hot sauce and cayenne in a small pot over medium low heat
2. Once it starts to warm, stir until it doesn't look streaky anymore
