Fridays, are our dinner nights with our daughter and son-in-law. Recently, I made homemade pizza. We had 2 stuffed cheese crust deep dish and a pepperoni. I made the dough for the crust with 1/2 unbleached flour and 1/2 whole wheat. To make 2 deep dish and one pepperoni pizza, I made 2 batches of dough.

How To Make homemade stuffed crust pizza
-
Step 1In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water (I add a pinch of sugar) and allow to set until it begins to foam, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 2Stir in salt, oil and half of flour.
-
Step 3Gradually add remaining flour, mixing well. Knead 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
-
Step 4Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise until double (1/2-1 hour) Punch down and let rise again until double. Punch down and divide.
-
Step 5I made stuffed crust, which took six (6) pieces of string cheese. When laying out dough, push it up the sides of your pan about an inch. I used my cast iron skillet and it worked BEAUTIFULLY! Lay cheese sticks end to end, touching all the way around.
-
Step 6Pull dough up and over cheese stick, gently pressing the dough to the bottom, sealing around the cheese.
-
Step 7Top with your favorite sauce and your favorite meats, cheeses, and other toppings as desired.
-
Step 8Bake at 350*F for approximately 20 - 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
