Cheesy Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Pizza

1In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar (1 teaspoon), and instant yeast (1 teaspoon).

2Gradually add warm water (¾ cup) and olive oil (1 tablespoon) to form a dough.

3Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic, then cover and let it rise for 30 minutes.

4Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare a pizza pan with parchment paper.

5Roll out the dough on the pan, leaving extra dough for the stuffed crust.

6Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese (½ cup) along the edge of the dough for the stuffed crust.

7Fold the dough over the cheese and press to seal, creating the stuffed crust.

8Spread marinara sauce (½ cup) over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

9Top the pizza with remaining mozzarella cheese (1½ cups), grated parmesan (½ cup), and pepperoni slices.

10Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
