Learn how to make delicious Epic Stuffed Crust Pizza with Ultimate Cheese Pull. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Creating this pizza might seem daunting, but with a few simple ingredients, you’ll be ready to impress. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 mozzarella cheese sticks (string cheese works great)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Substitutions can be a lifesaver in the kitchen. If you’re out of mozzarella cheese sticks, you can use blocks of mozzarella cut into sticks. And for a bit of a flavor twist, try adding some fresh basil or switching up the cheeses.

Instructions

Let’s get to the fun part—making the pizza! Follow these steps, and remember, it’s okay to get a little messy:

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  6. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large circle, about 14 inches in diameter.
  7. Place the mozzarella sticks around the edge of the dough, then fold the dough over them, pressing to seal and create the stuffed crust.
  8. Spread pizza sauce over the center of the dough, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  9. Add Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes over the top.
  10. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  11. Let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy that epic cheese pull!

From personal experience, don’t worry if your kitchen looks like a flour bomb exploded—it’s all part of the fun!
