Description
A delicious homemade stuffed crust pizza filled with mozzarella and topped with pepperoni.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 20 to 25 pieces of turkey or beef pepperoni
- 6 to 8 mozzarella cheese sticks
- 2 cups mozzarella, shredded
- 1 pound fresh pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
Instructions
- Turn your oven to 425°F. If using a pizza stone, place it inside to heat up.
- Dust a counter with flour and roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Move it to an oiled baking sheet or hot stone.
- Place mozzarella sticks near the edge of the dough, leaving about an inch from the rim. Fold the edge of the dough up over the cheese and pinch to seal.
- Spread pizza sauce over the center of the dough, avoiding the stuffed crust. Add shredded mozzarella, then pepperoni on top.
- Brush the stuffed crust with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are golden and cheese is melted.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy hot!
Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in an oven or air fryer for a crispy texture.
