Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Pizza: Ooey-Gooey Cheese-Stuffed Perfection

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out pizza dough into a large circle, about 12–14 inches wide.

Step 2: Place mozzarella sticks around the edge of the dough, then fold the edges over the cheese and press to seal, creating a stuffed crust.

Step 3: Transfer the dough to a greased or parchment-lined pizza pan or baking sheet.

Step 4: Spread pizza sauce over the center of the dough. Sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella.

Step 5: Add pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.

Step 6: Brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Step 7: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 8: Garnish with red pepper flakes and Parmesan if desired. Slice and serve hot.
