Double Crust Stuffed Pizza
This isn’t your average cheese-and-pepperoni situation. No, no! This pizza is a glorious stack of cheesy goodness lovingly encased in two layers of golden crust. Just wait until you see it!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water (not too hot or you’ll scare the yeast!)
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup of your favorite toppings (pepperoni, veggies, etc.)
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let that bubbly concoction sit for about 5 minutes, or until it gets frothy enough to impress your friends.
- Now, stir in the olive oil and salt, followed by the flour a little bit at a time, until you have a cohesive dough. Get your hands in there and knead for about 5-8 minutes. You want that dough to be smooth and elastic, like your favorite pair of sweatpants.
- Cover that beauty with a damp cloth and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it’s doubled in size. This is the part where it gets a little science-fiction as it expands!
- Once risen, punch it down (yes, pun intended) and divide it into two equal parts. Roll out one part into a large circle, about 12 inches wide. This will be your bottom crust.
- Place the rolled-out dough into a greased pie dish and spread some marinara sauce on it. Layer it up with the mozzarella and your favorite toppings, allowing a little love to show through.
- Now, roll out the second piece of dough, cover your stuffed creation, and pinch the edges to seal all that deliciousness inside. Brush with beaten egg for that golden finish.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the aroma makes you weak in the knees.
Let it cool for just a minute (I know, the anticipation is killer!), slice it up, and prepare for the compliments to roll in. Enjoy your Double Crust Stuffed Pizza with friends, family, or all by yourself—no judgment here!
