Double Stuff Pan Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 24oz shredded mozzarella cheese
• olive oil, to taste
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• string cheese
• tomato sauce
• topping of your choice

Preparation

• To a bowl add the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let the yeast proof for 5-15 minutes in a warm place until it is bubbling.
• Add in the flour and salt. Mix in the bowl until well combined and the dough comes together into a ball.
• Dump the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly to smooth out the dough and develop gluten. Form the dough into a ball and place into a new, large greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise for one hour
• Pat down the dough and separate into 2 portions
• Roll each portion out to a size slightly larger than a 9x13-inch baking sheet.
• Place the first rolled dough rectangle onto the greased baking sheet. Sprinkle a thick layer of mozzarella cheese onto the dough, then place the second sheet of dough on top to cover the cheese.
• Place string cheese into the edges of the dough, and fold the edges over the cheese, crimping the edges.
• Brush the dough with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Preheat oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
• Quickly top the stuffed bottom crust with sauce and any extra toppings or cheese you would like.
• Bake until the toppings are heated through, and the cheese has started to brown 10-15 minutes.
• Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, slice, and serve.
