Preparation

Step 1

1. Move oven rack to lowest position; heat to 450F. Spray a 12" pizza pan with cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick, hot water and oil with fork until soft dough forms; beat vigorous 20 strokes. Let stand 8 mins.

2. Pat or press dough in bottom and 1" over side of pizza pan with oiled hands. Lightly press 1/4 cup of pepperoni along edge of dough. Place string cheese over pepperoni along edge of dough, overlapping if necessary. Fold 1' edge of dough over and around cheese and pepperoni; press to seal well. Bake 7 mins.

3. Spread pizza sauce over partially baked crust. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the Italian cheese and remaining 1/2 cup pepperoni. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake 9-12 mins longer or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
