Stuffed Crust
Stuffed Crust pizza refers to pizza that has mozzarella cheese stuffed inside the edge of the pizza crust. When the crust bakes, the cheese melts and it creates an extra dimension of flavor for the pizza.

Mix up the dry ingredients in the crust well, and then stir in the water and butter. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it's moist and elastic. Sprinkle flour over a flat surface and roll the dough out into a circle about two inches wider than your pizza pan.
Tip: Use room-temperature string cheese so you can bend it into a curved shape for a round pizza.
Place the string cheese sticks about an inch inside the outer edge of the dough. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the dough closed. You should have a nice wide circle inside the stuffed crust to put sauces and toppings.
Tip: If you use a square cookie sheet, you can keep the cheese cold because you won't need to bend it.
Choose Your Pizza Sauce
I recommend using the simple, 5 ingredient marinara sauce we use in our Meatball Sub recipe. Today, I used Red Chile sauce from the Fresh Chile Co. - the beauty of pizza is that you can use whatever you like. You can use Cowboy Chutney, ranch dressing, BBQ Sauce - whatever you want to taste.
Tip: Sprinkle cornmeal on the bottom of the pan to help keep the dough from sticking to the bottom and burning.
Add Your Favorite Pizza Toppings
I use a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses with pepperoni. Some other favorites are Italian sausage, bacon, peppers, and onions. If you use jalapenos, you can call it a Cowboy Stuffed Crust Pizza.
Once you've added all of your toppings, bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Check out the video for instructions on how to use hot coals to cook the pizza in a Dutch oven outside.
