Stuffed Crust Pizza Experiment

Welcome back! So today I am sharing something I have never done before. A recorded video of myself doing an experimental pizza! I was super nervous but I know I need to branch out and not hide behind the keyboard so much. On the plus side, I don’t think I’m too much of a goob and it was super fun! For those of you who don’t like to watch videos, I am going to type out simple directions for how to make the pizza shown in the photo. For the written directions, scroll down until after the video! 

 

For the ingredients below, I actually made two pizzas. One with stuffed crust for my husband and I, and the other a normal pizza without stuffed crust for the kids. The kids pizza was on a 13x9 inch rectangle  pan and the stuffed crust pizza on a 15x10 inch rectangle pan. This pizza was made using the two ingredient pizza dough, mozzarella string cheese sticks, shredded mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and pepperonis. All calculated and this pizza was a total of 14 Weight Watchers points!! I loosely follow weight watchers, so this is based on their freestyle program, you would have to recalculate for the updated program for an accurate representation of points.  

Ingredients 

1 C Self-Rising Flour

1 C Greek Yogurt 

1.5 bags shredded mozzarella Cheese

Pizza sauce 

Pepperoni 

Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks 

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray pizza pans with olive oil or vegetable oil spray. 

In a medium sized bowl, mix together flour and yogurt until a crumbly dough forms. On a floured surface, place your dough and behind kneeling until dough forms better together. Once dough is holding together, split it into one larger sized ball for stuffed crust pizza and one smaller for normal pizza. For the kids pizza, roll it for the shape of your pan, but for stuffed crust roll it about an inch all around bigger than your pan. This is so you can roll the dough over the cheese sticks. Place dough into your pan. Next take your string cheese sticks and line then at the “crust” of your pizza, then take your dough overlay and pinch in to the bottom of your pizza dough so it covers the cheese sticks completely. Once you’ve made your cheese stick crust; ad your sauce, cheese, and pepperonis. Place pizza in preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on how thick you make your crust. Enjoy! 

How I Calculated Points

As I stated earlier I loosely follow WW freestyle plan and use a calculator online to get the point values. 

2 Ingredient Pizza dough - 6 Points

Pizza sauce 0 (this sauce is actually 1 point per 1/4 C, but since you don’t have 1/4 c on each slice of pizza I count it as zero)

Pepperoni 0 (similar to the pizza sauce, with this brand of pepperoni you get a 8 for only a couple points so one or two on your slice counts as less than 1 or 0)

String Cheese Sticks 8 (1 point per cheese stick, I used 8)

Mozzarella shredded cheese 0 

Pizza equals 14 points! We cut our pizza into 12 slices so each one was only. 1.12 points! Can’t beat that! I hope you enjoy! Happy Weight Watchering 😜
