Cook Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pack string cheese
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 250 g bread or pizza flour
  • 160 ml lukewarm water 
  • 5 g instant dry yeast
  • 6 g salt
  • 10 g sugar
  • 20 g olive oil

Instructions

  • Pour lukewarm water into a mixing bowl and add sugar and yeast. Let sugar and yeast dissolve in the water, then add flour gradually while mixing.
  • Mix in the flour using your hands until all the flour is incorporated, and you have a shaggy dough.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, or transfer to an air-tight container, and leave the dough for 30 minutes.
  • move the dough to your countertop, and add the salt and olive oil. Then knead the dough until the salt and oil are fully incorporated, and you’re left with a smooth, cohesive dough.
  • Move the dough to a lightly oiled air-tight container or back in the bowl with plastic wrap, and leave to rise for 2-3 hours, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
  • Next, stretch or roll out the dough using a rolling pin to a thin, round disc around 4 inches in diameter larger than you want your finished pizza to be, so you have that extra dough to wrap the cheese in.
  • Place the string cheese sticks in a circle around 2 inches from the edge.
  • Fold the dough tightly over the cheese sticks, and close the dough.
  • Add tomato sauce, cheese and your favorite toppings!
  • Bake the pizza at 450°F (230°C) for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and golden brown.
