Cheese-filled crust, savory sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni create the perfect pizza for any gathering.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dough and Crust
01 - 450 g pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
02 - 6–8 mozzarella string cheese sticks
→ Toppings
03 - 120 ml pizza sauce
04 - 200 g shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 20–25 slices pepperoni (beef or turkey)
→ Finishing
06 - 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
07 - Optional: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or grated Parmesan cheese for crust
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place a pizza stone in the oven if using. Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet if not using a stone.
02 - Roll the pizza dough into a 30 cm circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan or pizza stone.
03 - Arrange mozzarella string cheese sticks around the edge of the dough, leaving a 2.5 cm border. Fold the dough over the cheese and press firmly to seal, creating a stuffed crust.
04 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the center, keeping the stuffed crust uncovered. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange pepperoni slices over the cheese.
05 - Brush the stuffed crust with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or grated Parmesan if desired.
06 - Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
07 - Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
