Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 6–8 mozzarella string cheese sticks
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 20–25 pepperoni slices (beef or turkey)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Optional Seasonings

• Garlic powder
• Italian seasoning
• Grated Parmesan

Steps

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat. Grease a pizza pan or baking sheet lightly if not using a stone.
Roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough to your prepared pan or stone.
Arrange mozzarella string cheese sticks around the edge of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the dough over the cheese and press to seal, creating the stuffed crust.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the center of the dough, leaving the stuffed crust uncovered. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add pepperoni slices, spacing them evenly across the pizza.
Brush the stuffed crust with olive oil or melted butter. Add optional seasonings to the crust for extra flavor.
Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips
For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone and bake the pizza directly on it.
Customize your pizza by adding extra toppings like bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms.
Store leftover pizza in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for the best results.
