thick pizza crust loaded with creamy cheese & toppings galore!

INGREDIENTS

PIZZA DOUGH: 1, we used store bought!
TOMATO SAUCE: ½-⅓ cup
OLIVE OIL: 2 tbsp
Spero Sunflower Cream Cheese: ½ tub, we love using The Original or The Smoked :D
TOPPINGS: your choice. We used mushrooms, red onions, assorted peppers, & plant-based mozzarella!

DO ITTT

SPREAD 2 tbsp olive oil across bottom & sides of a 9-10” cast iron skillet.
PLACE pizza dough into skillet & gently press toward edges of skillet. *It’s ok if it doesn’t reach the sides immediately.
ALLOW dough to rest for 10-15 minutes & gently press toward edges again.
COVER skillet with a damp towel & allow dough to rise for 30-45 min.
PREHEAT oven to 425°F.
SAUTÉ any vegetable toppings in a skillet to remove moisture. *This can be done ahead of time & set aside until needed.
BAKE pizza dough for 10 min. Meanwhile, whisk 2-3tbsp of hot water into one container of Spero Sunflower Cream Cheese until it is a smooth and spreadable consistency.
REMOVE dough from the oven & top with tomato sauce, Spero Sunflower Cream Cheese, and any toppings.
BAKE for an additional 10-15 min. or until crust is golden brown & pulling away from the edge of the skillet.
GARNISH with basil & red pepper flakes if desired.
INDULGE in your new fave cheesy deep dish pizza!
