Meatball pizza


I call the stretch of Shanghai St , in Yau Ma Tei area , a cook's paradise .....

From 80 cents small moulds to KitchenAid mixer to Viking range , okay , I'm kidding about that one .

Cake pans in all shapes and sizes, different designs and shapes of  cupcake liners , bamboo steamers , claypots .....

Cheap bars of butter , chocolates , cream cheese  ....

And don't forget the cheap cast iron pan .....

I swear I'm not looking for it ! lol

But then , who can resist cast iron pan ?

Especially if it is cheap ?

Of course , I've been eyeing the Staub .....


Hah ! I wish !

I've been looking only for some spice container ( that I don't really  need ) at that time ....

Nah , that was just an excuse , me thinks  ^____^ ''

I bought a 10 1/2-inch cast iron pan that actually measures 8 1/2-inch at the bottom , 10-inch on top and 10 1/2-inch if you measure it from spout to spout but hey ! , it only cost me $ 52 !

So I've used it in making this pan pizza  and you'll see the pale crust , don't worry about that , it's our oven which is not hot enough , I think , to have that beautiful brown and crispy bottom *sigh*

Pale crust aside , the pizza tastes ( of course , I'm the one who made it hee hee ) really good and so easy to make since it's a no-knead dough .

Want a slice ?


Check the pizza dough recipe @ Serious Eats

For the toppings , anything will do . I've used homemade meatballs  ( that I've formed into mini ones ) , homemade sweet and spicy fresh cherry tomato sauce ,  some grated cheddar , cilantro and olive oil as my toppings .

  6. WOW to your meatball pizza and to your new cast iron pan! It's unbelievable how cheap you bought the pan for! Well done! Cast iron pan is a good investment as they keep forever... and it also builds the arm muscle everytime you use it ;P

  11. it looks delicious! i have a cast iron pan, but i don't use it for much. i'm kind of scared of cleaning it! i know you aren't supposed to use water, you just scrape it out? or something? eh, it's good to brown butter in but i know some people do a lot of baking with them. i need to learn how to do that...:)

  12. Your pizza looks wonderful. What a great bargain at the Shanghai St. Too bad a cast iron pan is too heavy for me to bring back to the States. :P Otherwise, I would go crazy on these pans!

  16. I love making homemade pizza and use a pizza stone that comes with our oven. However, for those that like deep dish styles this is perfect. I've never tried this before but look forward to it now. I bet you could even make individual ones in muffin tins. Can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing!
