Preparing the Dough

Start by preparing your pizza dough. For the cheese-stuffed crust, roll out the dough slightly larger than usual. Place mozzarella cheese sticks along the edge, then fold the dough over the cheese, pressing to seal. This will create your cheese-stuffed crust.

Adding the Toppings

Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving the edges clear for the crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, and arrange the pepperoni slices on top. For a rich flavor, you may also brush a tiny bit of olive oil over the edges of the crust.

Baking the Pizza

Preheat your oven to a high temperature, typically between 475°F to 500°F (245°C to 260°C). Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before cutting into slices.
