STUFFED CHEESY PIZZA BONES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Cut the mozzarella into 1/2-by-1/2-by-2-inch-long sticks and set aside. Mix together the Parmesan, oregano, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, salt and garlic together in a bowl; set aside.
• Pat the pizza dough into a 16-by-8-inch rectangle with a long side facing you. Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut the dough in half lengthwise. Quarter each piece so you have eight 4-by-4-inch squares. Spread 1/2 teaspoon ricotta in the middle of a square and place a piece of mozzarella on top. Fold the dough over the cheese to completely encase it. Starting from the center, pinch the seams closed, carefully pushing out any air as you go. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.
• Working one at a time, put a piece of dough into the seasoning mixture and press down firmly to coat all sides. On a clean, dry work surface roll the dough gently but firmly into a torpedo shape that is about 10 inches long. Tie the dough into a knot at each end and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pieces of stuffed dough. Brush with the butter and sprinkle on any remaining seasoning mix. Put in a warm place and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Transfer the bones to the oven and bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown all over, about 10 minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side.

MOZZARELLA STUFFED CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• You can make the pizza dough up to 48 hrs before you want to cook the pizza. Warm the milk in a saucepan until steaming but not boiling. In a large bowl combine the flour, yeast, sugar and 1 tsp salt. Add 1/2 tbsp oil to the milk and leave to cool until just warm -when you place a finger in the liquid it should feel body temperature. Pour the liquid into the bowl and either mix with a wooden spoon or food mixer, until the ingredients are well combined. Tip out onto your work surface and knead for 10 mins, or continue mixing in the mixer for 5-7 mins, until you have a smooth and elastic dough. Clean and oil the bowl, return the dough and cover with cling film. Leave somewhere warm to rise for 1-2 hrs, until doubled in size, or place in the fridge for up to 48 hrs.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pour the remaining oil and passata into a saucepan and add the squashed garlic, oregano and a pinch of sugar. Season well and simmer for 5-10 mins, until the sauce is thick. Remove the garlic cloves and set aside until you're ready to assemble the pizza.
• If the dough has been chilled remove from the fridge and leave at room temperature for 1 hr. Dust the work surface with polenta and tip the dough onto it. Punch the dough down to knock out the air bubbles then shape into a disk. Roll out the dough to a pizza base, about 35cm wide. Dust a large baking sheet with polenta and place the dough on top, making sure the dough can move around freely. Use 125g of the mozzarella to create a ring around the outside edge of the pizza base, leaving 1/2cm gap between the edge. Brush a little water inside the mozzarella ring then fold over the outside edge to enclose the mozzarella and create a stuffed crust. Press firmly to stick the dough in place.
• Spoon the sauce over the middle of the base and top with the remaining mozzarella. Scatter with your chosen toppings (save any fresh herbs for scattering over at the end) and brush the stuffed crust with a little oil, then lightly cover with oiled cling film and set aside for 20-30 mins, until the dough has puffed up a little. Meanwhile heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9 with a large baking sheet on the middle shelf to heat up.
• When the oven is hot and the pizza dough has puffed up, quickly open the oven door and slide the pizza onto the hot tray. Shut the door and cook for 15-20 mins, or until bubbling and cooked through. Leave to cool for a few mins before eating.
