Stuffed Pizza is something I remember from my childhood. There was something fun about it not being a regular pizza. It can be a fork and knife kinda meal, but if you are adventurous feel free to use your hands. I brought a pizza stone on sale from Marshall’s for about $10. It was a deep dish Chicago style stone. The next day I went and decided to make a regular pie and test out the stone. The pie turned out great, but I decided the next time I used it I had to go bigger.

A few nights before I had made a baked ziti and wanted to re-purpose it in another yummy way. So I decided to make a stuffed Baked Ziti Pizza. You can stuff the pizza with whatever left overs or freshly cooked food you would like. My only caution is nothing extremely loose or it will fall apart very easily.

Now, for the dough. You can either use store brought from the dairy section, or attempt to make your own. If I have time I usually make mine in the bread machine. In a pinch the store brought works just fine.
Leave a comment with your favorite pizza stuffing or topping. I love to hear new ideas.

What You Need:
Deep Dish Pizza Stone
Corn Meal
Cheese
Garlic
Butter
Filling (in this case baked ziti)
Pizza Dough (2 bags or double the recipe if fresh)

Pre-Heat the oven to 350 degrees F
Take a generous amount of corn meal and sprinkle evenly on the pizza stone. This will help prevent the pizza from sticking.
Roll out the bottom dough. Not to thin- and have it come up the side so you can seal the top and bottom layer together.
Add the filing to the pizza. If you are using something like a ziti and it seems a little dry, add some more sauce to the top.
Add more cheese to it as well.
Take the top dough and roll it out- this can be thinner if you like.
Seal the doughs together by pressing firmly around the stone.
Take the garlic and butter and melt together, then brush on the top of the dough. (Optional as always)
Add more cheese to the top. If you like a saucy pie you can add more sauce to the top as well.

Bake for about 25-30 minutes and wait about 5 minutes before cutting into it.
