Stuffed Crust Pizza

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 18-20 minutes

Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Cornmeal
2 pkg (10 oz each) refrigerated pizza crust
1 pkg (12 oz) mozzarella string cheese sticks (12 sticks), divided
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 can (8oz) pizza sauce
1 1/2 o pepperoni slices
1 oz fresh Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/4 c)
any other pizza toppings desired (we did mushrooms, green, red, and orange peppers)

1. Preheat oven to 425. Lightly spread bottom of pan with olive oil (we used a 9x13); sprinkle evenly with cornmeal. Unroll 1 pkg pizza dough across one end of the pan. Repeat with remaining dough, filling pan. Press dough together in center with fingers to seal.
2. Place 10 of the strings cheese sticks, end to end, around the edge of pan on top of dough. Roll edge of dough over cheese making sure to keep covered cheese next to sides of pan; firmly pinch dough rolled over cheese to dough under cheese to tightly seal. Lightly spray surface of dough with olive oil.
3. Press garlic over dough; spread evenly with scraper. Spread pizza sauce over dough and slightly up sides. Top with pepperoni and other toppings. Shred the remaining 2 string cheese sticks and Parmesan cheese evenly over filling. Bake 18-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cut into squares.

it turned out great!! We had to cook ours longer than 18-20 minutes though or the crust was doughy. I used bbq chicken and red peppers for toppings.

SO good...Love it!
