No Oven Pizzas

Perfect for hot days when you don't want to have your oven heat up the kitchen or camping trips:
(makes 4 individual pizzas)

1 lb. refrigerated pizza dough or thawed frozen dough (you can also use Naan flat bread)
Flour, for dusting
Med. coarse cornmeal*
1/4 cup EVOO
1 cup tomato sauce (or garlic Alfredo*)
8 oz. shredded mozzarella (about 2 cups)
A small red onion, cut in thin strips
1 roasted red pepper*, cut in thin strips
Arugula
Fresh basil* (chiffinaded)
Of course, you can add anything else you want.........................
Cast Iron Skillet

Quarter to dough, and shape into balls. Place on a lightly floured surface, cover with a kitchen towel, and let stand at room temp. for 30 mins. Heat a med. cast iron skillet over med. for 10 mins. (make sure you have a lid or foil*). Flatten 1 piece of dough, then stretch into an 8" round. Sprinkle cornmeal on a large flat plate. press bottom of round into it. Add 1 T. oil to skillet, tilting to coat. Carefully lay the dough in the bottom of the pan and cook for 1&1/2 mins. Using a metal spatula, flip the dough, then cover and cook until the bottom is lightly brown, about 3 mins. Turn the dough again, and, working quickly, spread 1/4 cup of the sauce on top. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese, top with some of the onions and red pepper, then cover and cook until cheese melts, about 1 min. longer. Transfer to a cutting board and top with some arugula. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
