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.

STUFFED PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Roll and stretch out the risen dough on a floured work surface into a rope about 31 inches long. Press a rolling pin into the dough to create a trench and roll it to a rectangle about 3 inches wide.
• Keeping a 1/2-inch border on each long side of the dough, smear the remaining dough with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread the surface with a nice thin layer of the Arrabbiata Sauce, then sprinkle with the Parmesan, mozzarella and pepperoni. Arrange the string cheese pieces on top in a double line. Fold the long sides of the dough up over the center (over the string cheese) and pinch the edges together well so there's no leakage. Bring the ends together to form a circle.
• Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil. Carefully transfer the dough circle to the prepared baking sheet, flipping it over before putting it on the sheet so the seam side is down. Brush the egg wash over the surface of the dough. Bake until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a board to rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
• Arrange the tomato slices and basil leaves in concentric circles in the middle of the pizza crust ring and serve with a dish of the remaining Arrabbiata Sauce on the side for dipping.
• Heat a pan over medium-high heat until hot and add the olive oil. Throw in the red pepper flakes and onions, give them a stir and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine, whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Add a pinch of sugar and some salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.

STUFFED CRUST PIZZA WITH CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the dough. Mix the flour, yeast and salt together in a large bowl. Mix together the sugar and warm water then make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Pour the sugar and water into the well. Gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients together and then turn out onto a floured work surface. Knead for 10 minutes. Flour the outside of the ball of dough then place in an oiled bowl. At this stage you can either prove for about 15 minutes somewhere warm or put it into the fridge until you're ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 200° C. Make the sauce. Heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, plenty of salt and 40ml of water. Once the water has evaporated pour in the tin of tomatoes and cook down until it's almost dry. Mix in the tomato puree and chipotle paste and leave to cook a little more until it has a thick consistency. Tip out onto a plate and allow to cool.
• Split the dough in half and roll each ball of dough out into a circle. Place on trays and spread the strips of mozzarella around the outer edge of the pizza making sure to leave a little gap at the edge. Carefully fold the dough over the cheese and tuck in tightly pressing to seal. Repeat with the second pizza.
• Spread the sauce around the middle of each pizza and split all the toppings between the two pizzas. Bake for 15 minutes until all the cheese is melted.

PIZZA STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Using a small knife, cut a pocket into one side of each chicken breast. Do not cut all the way through to the other side.
• Place 5 slices of pepperoni, 1-2 tablespoons of sliced peppers and 1-2 slices of mozzarella cheese into each pocket. Amounts vary depending on the size of your chicken breasts. You may have to cut the cheese in half to fit. Reserve 4 slices of cheese to top the chicken with later on.
• Use 3-4 toothpicks to close up the pocket on each chicken breast.
• Heat the olive oil in an oven safe pan over medium high heat. Season the chicken with italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken in the pan and cook on both sides until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side. You may have to work in batches depending on the size of your pan.
• Place all the seared chicken breasts in the pan and pour the marinara sauce over the top. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken piece.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

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.

GRILLED STUFFED CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• Pour the olive oil into an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the dough to the pan, turning to coat it with the oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until the dough fills about two-thirds of the baking sheet, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Slide your hands under the dough, lift and gently stretch it to fit the pan. (It's okay if it doesn't stretch to the corners.) For the final rise, loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside until slightly puffy, 30 to 45 minutes.
• While the dough rises, preheat a grill for high heat - it needs to be 500 to 600 degrees F when covered.
• Stir the tomatoes, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a medium bowl until combined.
• When the dough has risen, place the cheese sticks all the way around the edges, leaving a half-inch border. Fold the dough up and over the cheese sticks until they are totally enclosed, then gently pinch the dough to seal, creating a stuffed crust. Stretch and pull the dough gently to fill the edges of the baking sheet. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan evenly over the dough, all the way to the edge. Then top with the sliced mozzarella, leaving the border exposed. Spoon the tomato mixture over the mozzarella, inside the border. Top with the pepperoni and remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan.
• Put the pizza sheet directly on the grill grates, cover the grill and cook until the crust is lightly browned at the edges, about 15 minutes. Using a large metal spatula, slide the pizza directly onto the grill grates, cover and continue to cook until the crust is dark golden brown and the mozzarella is bubbly and lightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and let sit for 10 minutes. Top with some basil leaves and cut into squares.

APPLE AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE PIZZA WITH MACARONI AND CHEESE STUFFED CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450*F. Rub a large sheet pan with a light coating of olive oil (about a teaspoon).
• In a medium sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and sausage with olive oil about 4-5 minutes or until onions soften and sausage starts to brown.
• Meanwhile, roll out crust to a size slightly larger than your sheet pan. Place onto sheet pan with dough overhanging edges slightly.
• With a small spoon, spoon macaroni and cheese onto edges of the crust, about an inch in. Go all the way around - a small amount is sufficient. Then, fold the crust over the macaroni and cheese to form a stuffed crust.
• Layer on the sausage and onions, followed by the sliced apples and the grated cheddar cheese.
• Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
• Let cool 1-2 minutes before cutting and serving.

STUFFED CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, measure out the warm water (which should be 100°F) and stir in the yeast and sugar until it dissolves. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes. You'll notice it foaming on the top. If it doesn't, the yeast has been killed and you'll have to start over.
• Combine flour with sea salt in a large mixing bowl, then create a well in the middle of the flour and pour the yeast mixture into it along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. With a wooden spoon, mix in the flour with the liquid, working your way to the edges of the bowl and combine until it's mostly mixed.
• Pour it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until it is soft and elastic. This could be anywhere from 15 to 25 times.
• Take 1 teaspoon of olive oil and oil your bowl that you mixed the dough in. Set the ball of dough in it, and cover with a damp tea towel. Allow it to sit in a warm dark place away from any outside air (the best place is on top of the fridge if you have room or in the oven) for 1 to 2 hours. It should rise and double in size.
• To make the sauce, heat a sauce pan over medium. Once hot, sauté garlic and shallot in olive oil until softened. Add white wine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer on low heat for approximately 10 minutes. You're not really cooking this down, but you're applying heat to combine the flavors. Add sea salt and ground black pepper to taste. This makes sauce for more than 1 pizza, so freeze or refrigerate the leftovers to use at a later date for more pizza or as a base for pasta sauces.
• Roll out your dough onto a lightly floured surface into an 18-inch wide circle.
• Transfer to a 16-inch aerated pizza pan, or make your pizza directly on the rolling surface if you're going to transfer to a pizza stone in your oven. Your crust should be slightly hanging off the edge of your pan.
• Place mozzarella style shreds just inside the edge of the crust at the pan edge and fold over the dough lightly pressing into the bottom crevice to seal the crust fold.
• Use any fresh toppings you like to create the pizza of your dreams! Bake in an oven preheated to 475°F for approximately 20 minutes (this may vary depending on your oven make and model).
