Prep
  1. Spray sheet pan or dough box with pan spray then add frozen dough ball and spray top also; cover and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Remove from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature 15-30 minutes.
  3. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and dust top with flour then gently push in a circular motion to remove most of the air bubbles.
  4. Pick up dough and stretch outwards using thumbs and index fingers; moving around edges in a circular motion until the dough fits onto the tops of your knuckles.
  5. Stretch and turn the dough evenly until it reaches a size of 17-inch diameter.
  6. Transfer to either a pizza screen for Impinger oven or parchment-lined full sheet pan for Standard oven.
Assembly
  1. Pipe half the cheese pouch around the edges of the crust, leaving a 3/4-inch space before the edge.
  2. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, pinching down to seal.
  3. Top with romesco sauce, mozzarella cheese, red onion and chicken then bake until golden brown.

  • If you can’t find Catupiry cheese, string cheese is an excellent substitute! Cut four 1-oz pieces of string cheese in half lengthwise and only use inside the crust. It is the perfect shape, width, and texture for creating those melty cheese pockets in a stuffed crust pizza.
