A delightful homemade pizza with a cheesy stuffed crust and savory toppings.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Grease a baking sheet lightly with oil or cooking spray.
Greasing prevents the dough from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Roll out the pizza dough on the baking sheet, extending it slightly beyond the edges.
Use a rolling pin or your hands to evenly spread the dough.
Place the string cheese sticks along the edges of the dough.
Leave a small gap between the cheese and the edge for sealing.
Fold the dough over the cheese sticks and press to seal the edges.
Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent cheese leakage.
Brush the crust with melted butter and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
This adds a golden color and extra flavor to the crust.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough inside the crust.
Use the back of a spoon for even spreading.
Top with pepperoni slices and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Rotate the pizza halfway through baking for even cooking.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
Slice with a pizza cutter for neat portions and enjoy!
