Mastering Cheesy Stuffed Pizza

Preparing the Dough

Allow the dough to rise properly for a soft, airy crust.

Stuffing the Crust

Wrap cheese sticks around the edge and fold the dough over for a deliciously cheesy crust.

Baking to Perfection

Bake at a high temperature for a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.

Perfecting Your Stuffed Crust Pizza

For a crispier crust, bake on a pizza stone preheated in the oven.

Use freshly shredded mozzarella for better melting and flavor.

Seal the crust tightly over the cheese to prevent leaks.

Experiment with different cheeses inside the crust, like cheddar or provolone.

For the dough:

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast

1 1/4 cups warm water

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp olive oil

For the stuffed crust:

8 mozzarella string cheese sticks, halved lengthwise

1 tbsp melted butter

1/2 tsp garlic powder

For the toppings:

1 cup pizza sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a greased pizza pan.

Place the halved mozzarella sticks around the edge of the dough, then fold the edges over the cheese, pressing to seal.

Brush the crust with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder over it.

Spread pizza sauce over the center, then top with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, and desired toppings.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
