Stuffed Crust Wholewheat Pizza

By Tejal Hewitt @Tejal_x

So here is my version of the stuffed crust pizza!

Now please note I plan was to use string cheese ( Kids cheese) int he crust – however I had run out! Joys of half term and kids being at home raiding the fridge! So I improvised and used cheese slices instead.

What was great, was that it wasn’t super cheesy but cheesy enough! Although when can things be too cheesy right?!

Ingredients
200g Wholewheat flour
1 tsp fast acting yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
160ml warm water
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 tsp Italian herbs
Processed cheese slices
Hot sauce
Grated Cheese
Pizza toppings of choice

Add flour, yeast, oil and salt to a mixer

Slowly add warm water while mixer is on, and knead for about 3-5 minutes on medium speed on mixer or by hand. Cover with cling film and allow to rise for 1 hour in a warm place to double in size

Take the dough out and knead by hand and knock out the air, roll out the dough into a large pizza tray (recipe will make 3 smaller pizzas or 1 extra large or 1 large and 1 small), Make sure you roll it off the side of the edge

Take cheese slices and cut in half, add hot sauce to the middle

Roll the slice up long ways

Line around the edge of the pizza

Fold over the dough on the edge wrapping the cheese

Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and herbs to a cup and stir

Add tomato sauce over the base of the dough

Add cheese and toppings to the pizza

Bake in the oven at 220c for14-16 minutes until crust and cheese nice and brown

Slice and serve
