Stuffed Pizza

Stuffed Pizza for Meat Lovers

Victor
The easiest way to prepare this is to purchase premade pizza dough at your grocery store and fill it with your favorite toppings.
You will need a 10-12" cast iron skillet, springform cake, or an oven-proof deep dish pan.
I make mine in a 12" cast iron pan.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ea Pizza Dough Rounds Purchase raw dough at your grocery store
  • 1 cup Paremsan Cheese Use a high quality parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp Oregano, dried
  • 1 jar Marinara Sauce Use a jar of your favorite sauce
  • 2 lb Mozzarella Cheese Buy your favorite shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 lb Pepperoni Sliced
  • .5 lb Italian Meatballs
  • .5 lb Ground Beef Pizza Topping
  • 1 lb Italian Sausage
  • 1 cup Black Olives Sliced
  • 1 cup Green Olives Sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 475.
    Line your pan with the first pizza dough and make sure that it is flat in the pan and draped over the edges.
    Mix your parmesan and Oregano top to create your parmesan mix.
    Start layering your ingredients (except sauce), starting with the mozzarella cheese and parmesan mix.
    Layer your meats or vegetables.  If using vegetables, make sure that liquids have drained first, or you will have a very wet pie.
    As you sprinkle and layer your ingredients, keep layering mozzarella cheese and parmesan mix after 2-3 toppings to have multiple layers of cheese throughout the pie.  This helps stabilize the toppings when you slice and serve them.
    When your pie seems full, sprinkle open the last layer of mozzarella and parmesan mix.
    Add the top layer of dough and roll the edges of the lower crust over the top crust edge and down to the inside of the pie, creating a rolled edge.  This will create a space about a half-inch deep to spread your sauce on top.
    Spread about half of the sauce evenly on top and sprinkle the parmesan mix lightly all over the top of the sauce.  Save the remainder to serve with the slices if desired.
    Place pan in the oven.  Be prepared.  It is heavy.
    Bake for 25-35 minutes, depending on how deep your pie is.
    Remove when done, let rest for 15 minutes, and serve.
