    Anyone know how to do it? I was thinking if you make your pizza base bigger than your tray, hanging over the edges. Move your filling, passata, and cheese to the edge of the tray and the excess pizza base thats hanging over, fold it back on to the tray, would this be right?
    Anyone have the proper way to do a stuffed crust pizza base?

    Now i haven't tried this before, but what i would think is would you not roll out the dough really really thin, then layer cheese and whatever else on top, and then roll out another really thin layer and put on top? Like a sandwich?

    I'd say your method would work fine once you wet the dough with water so it'll stick when you fold it over. Sounds yum.

    Well, here's what I do..
    1. Roll out the pizza base, a little too large for the pizza tray
    2. slice your mozarella into 1 or 1.5cm wide rectangles (and of about the same depth)
    3. Arrange them around what will be the edge of your pizza
    4. With an egg-wash brush, brush the pizza base on the inside of this ring of mozarella with water
    5. Fold the excess pizza base over the cheese and crimp in to form a cheese-filled lip around the edge of the pizza
    6. Add the tomato base etc to the exposed base of the pizza and place in your oven
    7. Hey presto - cheese-filled, stuffed-crust pizza!
