Yeast is the key ingredient in most pizza doughs. This leavener creates air inside the dough so it won’t be tough. After allowing the yeast to become active in warm water for a few minutes, it is combined with flour and more water and stirred to form a ball. This ball of dough is allowed to rise, then is punched down to remove large air pockets and rolled out to shape. You are close to final assembly of your stuffed pizza crust pizza at this point.

Stuffed pizza crust pizza making is like making any other pizza with one little step added; getting the cheese inside the outside crust. Seem difficult? It’s really not at all. Simply roll out the dough until it’s about four inches longer and wider than the pan you plan to use to bake in on. Pick up the rolled-out dough and place it over the pan until it has about an equal amount of dough overhanging each side. Now using either store-bought cheese sticks or some of your favorite grated cheese, place a narrow pile of cheese all the way around the edge of the pie about 1 1/2 inches in from the edge. To finish, start folding over the outside flap of dough over the cheese and press it into the inside dough to seal it. Keep working around the pie until you get back to where you started. You’ve just made the basic stuffed pizza crust pizza dough base.

The only thing remaining is to start adding your favorite toppings then bake as instructed. That’s it! You just made your first stuffed pizza crust and saved a bundle doing it!
