Best 15 Stuffed Pizza Dough Recipes

STUFFED CRUST PIZZA

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.

• Fill each circle with about 2 tablespoons of the filling. Brush the edges of the dough with water, then fold over and crimp edges together with a fork. Poke holes in the top of each calzone. Place on the baking sheets, and brush the tops of the calzones lightly with olive oil.

MINI STUFFED PIZZA BALLS

Steps:

• Prepare all your fillings -- I just make sure everything is diced fine.
• Pizza -- On a floured counter top or you can use corn meal roll out the dough in a large rectangle, about 12"x10". Then cut in 24 squares. Top each square with some of the filling and some of the cheese and then just pick up each square and enclose the dough around the filling and roll lightly into a ball.
• Baking -- place the pizza balls seam side down in a pie dish sprayed well with pam. Don't worry about them being right next to one another. When they are finished, you can pull them about like "cinnimon rolls." I think I got 12 in each pie plate.
• Topping -- Mix the olive oil with the garlic and dried seasoning and brush over the pizza balls and then top with a light dusting of the parmesan cheese.
• Bake -- 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees. I just follow the directions for my pizza dough, usually 4,00 for about 15-20 minutes.
• They will be golden brown, crusty and just serve with marinara. They are small bite size tear away pizza balls which are just great. And like I said, fillings are whatever you like. I like pepperoni, onion, green pepper and mozzarella, but you can use anything, ham mushroom and swiss would be great, sausage, onion, sundried tomatoes, you name it. Just make sure the filling are already pre cooked.
• Marinara -- Heat up the marinara in a small bowl just in the microwave and serve with the pizza.

MOZZARELLA STUFFED CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• You can make the pizza dough up to 48 hrs before you want to cook the pizza. Warm the milk in a saucepan until steaming but not boiling. In a large bowl combine the flour, yeast, sugar and 1 tsp salt. Add 1/2 tbsp oil to the milk and leave to cool until just warm -when you place a finger in the liquid it should feel body temperature. Pour the liquid into the bowl and either mix with a wooden spoon or food mixer, until the ingredients are well combined. Tip out onto your work surface and knead for 10 mins, or continue mixing in the mixer for 5-7 mins, until you have a smooth and elastic dough. Clean and oil the bowl, return the dough and cover with cling film. Leave somewhere warm to rise for 1-2 hrs, until doubled in size, or place in the fridge for up to 48 hrs.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pour the remaining oil and passata into a saucepan and add the squashed garlic, oregano and a pinch of sugar. Season well and simmer for 5-10 mins, until the sauce is thick. Remove the garlic cloves and set aside until you're ready to assemble the pizza.
• If the dough has been chilled remove from the fridge and leave at room temperature for 1 hr. Dust the work surface with polenta and tip the dough onto it. Punch the dough down to knock out the air bubbles then shape into a disk. Roll out the dough to a pizza base, about 35cm wide. Dust a large baking sheet with polenta and place the dough on top, making sure the dough can move around freely. Use 125g of the mozzarella to create a ring around the outside edge of the pizza base, leaving 1/2cm gap between the edge. Brush a little water inside the mozzarella ring then fold over the outside edge to enclose the mozzarella and create a stuffed crust. Press firmly to stick the dough in place.
• Spoon the sauce over the middle of the base and top with the remaining mozzarella. Scatter with your chosen toppings (save any fresh herbs for scattering over at the end) and brush the stuffed crust with a little oil, then lightly cover with oiled cling film and set aside for 20-30 mins, until the dough has puffed up a little. Meanwhile heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9 with a large baking sheet on the middle shelf to heat up.
• When the oven is hot and the pizza dough has puffed up, quickly open the oven door and slide the pizza onto the hot tray. Shut the door and cook for 15-20 mins, or until bubbling and cooked through. Leave to cool for a few mins before eating.
