Best Sheet Pan Cheese Pizza Recipes

SHEET PAN MAC & CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large pot, combine the milk, cream cheese and Velveeta over medium heat. Stir until cheeses are melted and mixture starts to simmer, then whisk in 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
• Fold the macaroni and marinara sauce into the cheese sauce to combine completely and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread onto a baking sheet and top with remaining 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese, 1 cup cheddar cheese, onions, red and green peppers and pepperoni.
• In a medium bowl, stir to combine panko, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over macaroni and cheese, then bake until top is crisp and cheese is melted, about 15-20 minutes.

SHEET-PAN CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Make the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over the hot water in a small bowl. Let stand until dissolved and slightly foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the bread flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and add the olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, dust the dough with flour and knead, dusting with more flour as needed, until very smooth and elastic but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet coated with 3 tablespoons olive oil, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Make the pizza sauce: Combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, sugar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl; season with more salt and sugar if needed. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups.)
• Make the pizza: Preheat the oven to 450˚ F (use the convection setting, if available) with a pizza stone, baking steel or inverted large baking sheet in the lower third of the oven. Gently stretch and press the dough to cover the pan as much as possible. Let stand 30 minutes, then gently press and stretch the dough again, if needed, to cover the pan. Top the dough with the pizza sauce, Parmesan, grated mozzarella and torn mozzarella.
• Place the baking sheet on the hot stone and bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove to a cutting board.
