How to Make Stuffed Pizza
- **Breadmaker Crust (Optional):** In your breadmaker pan, combine: 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt. Add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. Set to the dough cycle.
- **Hand-Kneaded Crust:** In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add olive oil, sugar, and salt. Stir in 2 cups flour. Gradually add remaining flour (about 1/2 cup), kneading until a soft, elastic dough forms.
- **First Rise:** Let the dough rise for 1 hour (or follow breadmaker instructions).
- **Prepare Filling:** Remove sausage (1 lb) from casing and crumble. Sauté 1 medium onion and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) in 1 tbsp olive oil until softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- **Assemble Pizza:** Divide dough into thirds. Roll two-thirds into a 14-inch circle. Lightly oil a 12-inch deep-dish pizza pan. Press dough into the pan, up the sides.
- **Layer Filling:** Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the crust. Top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 8 oz sliced mushrooms.
- **Tomato Topping:** Sauté 1 (28 oz) can of crushed tomatoes with 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried basil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for 10 minutes.
- **Top Crust:** Roll the remaining dough into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling.
- **Seal & Prick:** Crimp edges to seal. Prick the top crust with a fork.
- **Finishing Touches:** Brush the top crust with 2 tbsp tomato sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- **Bake:** Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **Rest & Serve:** Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
