Stuffed pizza crust seems to have taken America by storm. Every time you turn on the TV it seems like there's always a commercial on for it. It is quite the rage these days.
In-store sales and home delivery of stuffed pizza crust pizzas are booming. People are noticing pizza again with this new product. And store owners are already taking advantage of this new interest by charging a premium price for these new pizzas.
Want to save some money? Let's make a stuffed pizza crust pizza at home. It's not that difficult and you might even like the finished product better.
Flour, water, oil and yeast are all it takes to make stuffed pizza crust dough. Check the Internet for a generic recipe.
Measure out the flour and pour it onto a cutting board. Make a mound, then make a hollow well in the center of it about 6" in diameter. Pour the warm water into it with the yeast added. Stir it for a couple of minutes. You will see the water turn cloudy then a slight foam will form. This lets you know the yeast has been activated. Finally, add your oil.
Start pulling flour into the yeast mix a little at a time, going around the ring. Be careful not to breach the flour by taking too much from one place or you'll lose your yeast/water/oil mixture. Keep doing this until the mixture is too thick to run. Now pull all the flour into the mix and keep folding the stuffed pizza crust dough until a sticky ball is formed.
Add a little flour at a time as you begin to knead it to keep it from getting too sticky. After kneading about 5-10 minutes you should have a shiny ball of stuffed pizza crust dough that will bounce back if depressed with a finger.
The yeast is now given time to do its work. Put the stuffed pizza crust dough into a covered bowl and let it sit in a warm place for a couple hours. It should double in size.
When ready, take the dough from the bowl and cut off what you need for your first stuffed crust pizza. It should only take a fist-sized ball of dough for a thin stuffed pizza crust.
Most people roll out the dough to about a 1/8" thickness. Then start placing cheese sticks or grated cheese in a small row about 1 1/2 - 2" in from the edge of the dough, all the way around the pie.
Now fold the dough outside the cheese row back over the cheese. Seal it in place by pressing it into dough inside the row. Do this for the whole pizza.
You know something? Your first stuffed pizza crust pie shell is done! All you need to do now is load it with your favorite toppings and throw it into a hot oven! Get ready for a delicious pie!
