How To Make throw together pizza in a bowl or skillet

Step 1

PLATE/PRESENT

Step 2

Gather your ingredients.
Step 3

Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 450f (330c).
Step 4

Take an ovenproof dish, or small serving skillet about 6 inches (15cm) in diameter, and coat with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil.
Step 5

In a small pan, melt the other 1/2-tablespoon of olive oil with the butter.
Step 6

Toss the bread with the butter/oil mixture, and add to the bottom of the pan (or dish).
Step 7

Chef's Note: Mixing the oil with the bits of bread gives this dish a flavor reminiscent of the small mom-and-pop restaurants dotting the hills that surround Tuscany. As a matter of fact, the bones of this recipe came from one of those restaurants on a trip I made there a little over a year ago. Make sure you use the freshest "extra virgin" olive oil you have available. It will really make a difference.
Step 8

Sprinkle the bread mixture with some dried oregano.
Step 9

Dot the bread with the sauce.
Step 10

Add the Parmesan cheese.
Step 11

Add the sausage.
Step 12

Chef’s Note: Season with some salt, and pepper, if desired.
Step 13

Add the mozzarella.
Step 14

Add the pepperoni.
Step 15

Cover with the provolone.
Step 16

Place in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and begins to get those yummy brown spots on top, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 17
