Pizza with Stuffed Crust

 

1 pizza crust, unbaked

6-8 pieces of string cheese

Tomato sauce

Fresh tomatoes, sliced

Basil leaves, chopped

Arugula, chopped

Mozzarella cheese, shredded

How to Make It

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Make the dough larger than you want the pizza to be. Roll the dough over the rolling pin to move it to the pan. Make sure the dough is larger than the pan by stretching it gently.

Space the pieces of string cheese around the edge of the pan. Wrap the stretched pizza dough around the cheese, pressing it together with the dough in the bottom of the pan. Go ahead and wrap it around the cheese a bit; you want it to be a tight fit.

Spread tomato sauce on the face of the pizza. Sprinkle the sauce with basil. Scatter the tomato slices evenly over the surface. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the pizza as it bakes. Remove pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped arugula. Let the pizza rest a few minutes before slicing.
