String Cheese Stuffed-Crust Pizza image

There's no pizza delivery in our rural community, so I rely on this recipe instead. The edges of the no-fail homemade crust are filled with string cheese, and the hearty toppings can be varied to suit your preference. Try the dough for making breadsticks or bread bowls.

Overall, I thought this pizza was pretty good. The string cheese in the crust was a nice touch, but I think it could have used a little more sauce.

This pizza was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less string cheese in the crust.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pizza didn't turn out as good as the picture. The crust was too thick and the cheese wasn't melted all the way.
