Categories     Pizza

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 recipe homemade pizza crust*
7 string cheeses, unwrapped*
1/2 cup (127g) pizza sauce, or more depending how much you like (homemade or store-bought)
1 and 1/2 cups (6oz or 168g) shredded mozzarella cheese
big handful pepperoni (or any other toppings you like)
optional: Italian seasoning blend or dried basil for sprinkling on top

Steps:

  • Prepare the pizza dough through step 5, including preheating the oven to 475°F (246°C) as described in step 4.
  • Lift the edge of the dough up to create a lip around the edges. Arrange the string cheese around the edges of the crust, leaving a 3/4 inch space. Fold the edges of the dough over the string cheese, pinching down to seal. Do your best to completely seal the string cheeses inside. Let the dough rest for a couple minutes if you're having trouble sealing it completely.
  • Top with pizza sauce, the mozzarella cheese, then the pepperoni. Sprinkle lightly with seasoning.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and the cheese is bubbling. For the last minute, I move the oven rack to the top rack to really brown the edges. That's optional. Remove from the oven. Slice pizza and serve immediately.
  • Store leftover pizza covered tightly in the refrigerator and reheat as you prefer. Baked pizza slices can be frozen up to 1 month.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

One 1-pound loaf store-bought frozen bread dough, thawed and left to rise according to the package instructions
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Large pinch kosher salt
Arrabbiata Sauce, recipe follows, cooled
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
14 slices pepperoni, chopped
10 pieces string cheese, each cut in half to make 2 shorter pieces
1 egg whisked with 1 teaspoon water
4 Roma tomatoes, sliced
Fresh basil leaves, for serving
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 small to medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
Two 15-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Pinch sugar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
  • Roll and stretch out the risen dough on a floured work surface into a rope about 31 inches long. Press a rolling pin into the dough to create a trench and roll it to a rectangle about 3 inches wide.
  • Keeping a 1/2-inch border on each long side of the dough, smear the remaining dough with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread the surface with a nice thin layer of the Arrabbiata Sauce, then sprinkle with the Parmesan, mozzarella and pepperoni. Arrange the string cheese pieces on top in a double line. Fold the long sides of the dough up over the center (over the string cheese) and pinch the edges together well so there's no leakage. Bring the ends together to form a circle.
  • Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil. Carefully transfer the dough circle to the prepared baking sheet, flipping it over before putting it on the sheet so the seam side is down. Brush the egg wash over the surface of the dough. Bake until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a board to rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
  • Arrange the tomato slices and basil leaves in concentric circles in the middle of the pizza crust ring and serve with a dish of the remaining Arrabbiata Sauce on the side for dipping.
  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat until hot and add the olive oil. Throw in the red pepper flakes and onions, give them a stir and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine, whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Add a pinch of sugar and some salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.

CHEESY PIZZA STUFFING



Cheesy Pizza Stuffing image

Imagine Thanksgiving stuffing, but with the red-sauce flavors of cheese pizza. Tomato paste and dried oregano, bloomed in buttery onions, do the heavy lifting in this comforting dish, as does an ivory shower of shredded mozzarella, which melts and gets gooey in spots. Stale bread works best, so dry out the bread the night before you plan to make this, or bake the torn pieces in a 250-degree oven until they're brittle. You can also assemble the stuffing the night before Thanksgiving; just keep it covered in the refrigerator and bake it the next day while the turkey is resting. Serve this warm, while the cheese is still molten.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12- to 14-ounce) loaf brioche or challah, torn into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more softened butter for greasing dish
1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano, plus more for topping
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup vegetable stock
1 large egg
1 cup whole milk
2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella

Steps:

  • The night before serving, spread the bread pieces on a sheet pan and let sit on the counter to dry out. Alternatively, you can bake them at 250 degrees until completely dried out and no longer soft, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • When ready to make the stuffing, transfer the bread to a large bowl. Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-by-13-inch or 8-by-11-inch baking dish with softened butter.
  • Melt the 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high and add the onion. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and slightly browned at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the oregano and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the stock and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a fork, then beat in the milk. Pour the stock mixture and milk mixture over the bread and toss with two spoons until evenly coated. Add 1 cup mozzarella, and toss again until well combined. Let sit until the bread fully absorbs the liquid, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the stuffing and any accumulated liquid to the greased baking dish, spread out evenly and top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella. (To make ahead, you can stop at this stage, cover the dish and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
  • Bake, uncovered, until heated through and the cheese is melted, 15 to 25 minutes. (You may need to add a few minutes to the bake time if the stuffing has been refrigerated.) Sprinkle a pinch of oregano over the top and serve immediately.
