Pizza Night. June 25, 2020
For their June virtual gathering, Diva A invited all the divas to make pizza. Make their own crusts. Or don't. Go crazy with toppings. Or don't. Make it personal sized (does everyone else remember getting the adorable Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas for Book-it?) or big enough for leftovers. But mostly, have fun in a low-key, stay-at-home, everyone-loves-pizza kind of way.

Ingredients
- 1/2 recipe homemade pizza crust
- 7 string cheeses
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce, or more depending how much you like
- 1 and 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- toppings of your choice
- optional: Italian seasoning blend or dried basil for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Prepare the pizza dough through step 5, including preheating the oven to 475°F as described in step 4.
- Lift the edge of the dough up to create a lip around the edges. Arrange the string cheese around the edges of the crust, leaving a 3/4 inch space. Fold the edges of the dough over the string cheese, pinching down to seal. Do your best to completely seal the string cheeses inside. Let the dough rest for a couple minutes if you’re having trouble sealing it completely.
- Top with pizza sauce, the mozzarella cheese, then your toppings of choice. Sprinkle lightly with seasoning.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and the cheese is bubbling. For the last minute, I move the oven rack to the top rack to really brown the edges. That’s optional. Remove from the oven. Slice pizza and serve immediately.
- Store leftover pizza covered tightly in the refrigerator and reheat as you prefer. Baked pizza slices can be frozen up to 1 month.
