T has been making this vegan stuffed crust pizza for over 4 years, and it takes me back to my cheese-loving teenage days every. single. time. Over the past four years, we’ve picked up the best tips and tricks for crafting the perfect homemade stuffed crust pizza without the dairy, and in this post, we’re sharing them all with you!
Preheat the oven to 475F and stretch your pizza dough to fit your pizza pan, cast iron pan, or pizza stone. Finely slice (julienne) 1/4 of the vegan pepperoni
Stuff the pizza crust.
Line the edges of your pizza with half the vegan cheese and the sliced vegan pepperoni. Fold the outer crust over the cheese and pepperoni, sealing the dough with your fingers.
Assemble the pizza.
Top the dough with pizza sauce, avoiding the stuffed crust. Then, top the pizza sauce with half the vegan pepperoni followed by the remaining vegan mozzarella. And finally, top the pizza with the remaining pepperoni.
Cook the pizza.
Bake your vegan stuffed crust pizza for 15-20 minutes, stopping to rotate the pan once halfway through. It’s ready when the crust is golden and the vegan mozzarella has melted.
Finishing touches
Remove and let cool on your cutting board or wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
* We used 1 bag of Field Roast vegan pepperoni
Pizzadesso Instructions

When the Pizzadesso has preheated, it will beep a couple times & the digital read will switch to “Fill In”. Use the rack handle accessory to safely pull out the rack & transfer the pizza from the peel to the heated stone. Reinsert the rack using the handle, close the door, & the preset countdown will begin.
3 min later, the Pizzadesso will have worked its magic. Let cool 5 min before slicing & enjoy!
