Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 balls (approx. 1 lb each) Pizza dough
- 1.5 cups Pizza sauce
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Sliced mushrooms
- 0.5 cup Cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and set a pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Roll out one ball of pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Place it on a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread 3/4 cup of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Add half of the pepperoni slices, mushrooms, and cooked sausage as toppings.
Roll out the second ball of pizza dough into a 14-inch circle. Drape it over the assembled pizza, ensuring it fully covers the toppings.
Trim the excess dough, leaving about 1 inch of overhang. Pinch and fold the edges of the top and bottom dough together to seal the pizza. Crimp the edge to create a decorative border, if desired.
Brush the top of the stuffed pizza with olive oil. Sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, and a little grated Parmesan cheese for flavor.
Using a sharp knife, cut a few small slits in the top dough to allow steam to escape.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the stuffed pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve each slice with an optional sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese and enjoy this indulgent twist on classic pizza!
