STUFFED CRUST PIZZA!!!!

This post has to start with a big thanks to Aunt K, who taught C how to make Pizza when he spent the night with them this summer.

C came home with a couple recipes that he couldn't wait to try out on us. Wednesday when I went to pick up K from school C asked if he could make dinner. I told him he had wait to put anything in the oven until I got home...so what was on the counter when I walked in? All ready to go in the oven? A stuffed crust pizza, and he made the crust from scratch!!!!

He had a total blast doing it, made the dough, let it raise, rolled it out and made a pizza, and it was REALLY GOOD!!!!

Stuffed Crust Pizza!

Recipe: (The credit for this goes to the Benjamin Family Cook Book, via aunt K)

Ingredients: Pizza sauce, string cheese, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, sausage (browned)
Dough:
1 cup of warm water
2 T olive oil
2 cups of flour
1/2 tsp of salt
2 1/2 tsp yeast

Mix this in a mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes. Put this in a bowl to let the yeast work and raise the dough until it doubles in size.

Roll out on a floured surface until slightly bigger than your pizza pan, then take string cheese and divide the pieces in 1/3 and lay around the edge of your dough just at the edge of your pan. Roll the dough over the cheese and press down. Then put your sauce and toppings on your pizza, top with cheese and bake at 400 for about 10 minutes (adjust time to your oven). Enjoy!!!
