🍕 Why Stuffed Crust?
Stuffed crust pizza isn’t just about extra cheese (although we’re absolutely here for it). It’s about turning the crust into a feature, not an afterthought. That molten mozzarella layer tucked inside the dough adds a gooey, melty surprise that makes each bite even better. It’s fun, indulgent, and easier to make than you think.
🧀 Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Pizza Recipe
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15–18 minutes
Total Time: About 40 minutes
Serves: 4–6
Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 ball of pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
6–8 mozzarella cheese sticks (or sliced block mozzarella)
For the toppings:
1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
20–30 slices of pepperoni
Optional: Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, fresh basil
🍳 Instructions:
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven now to preheat.
Shape the dough:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough into a 12–14 inch circle. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza pan.
Add the cheese sticks:
Arrange cheese sticks around the edge of the dough, about an inch from the edge. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch to seal, creating your stuffed crust.
Add sauce and toppings:
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the center of the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then top with pepperoni slices. Add optional seasonings if desired.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Slice and serve:
Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve with extra marinara for dipping—or just enjoy that stuffed crust as is!
