Ingredients
1 cup lukewarm water
¼ oz active dry yeast, (1 pkg)
1 tsp sugar or honey
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
4 oz mozzarella string cheese
15 oz tomato sauce, (1 can)
Preparation
Stir the water, yeast, and sugar altogether, set aside for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add 2½ cups of the flour, salt, and oil, and stir until the dough comes together.
On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Add more flour if the dough is sticky.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat all over.
Cover and set aside in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Roll the dough out so it’s about two inches larger than the pizza pan.
Line string cheese along the edge of the pan and spoon pizza sauce over cheese.
Fold over the edges to form a ring and press to seal.
Prepare the remainder of pizza as you like it.
Bake on a pizza stone or cookie sheet in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
