How to make Cheese-Filled Pizza Crust?!
I want to buy my dough pre-made at a store, because I don't have a lot of time for making homemade dough...
But I do have one question.
If I were to use my store-bought dough, How can I make it with Cheese inside the crust?
Methods are greatly appreciated!
Answers: I'm new to baking and cooking, and I want to make Vegetarian-style pizzas. Cooking has facinated me for a while, now.

take some string cheese, tear the pieces in half, lay strips around the edge of the crust and roll the crust around it and pinch it closed.
String cheese or just grated mozzarella will do. Check out this recipe:
Jay got this one nailed.......on your first attempt, I'd recommend using the kind in the roll (think: Pillsbury premade pizza crust) in the refrigerated section of your supermarket. Unroll the crust, place the string cheese about 3/4 inch from the edge of the crust and roll the crust around it and press to seal......add your favorite toppings and bake as suggested on the tube of pizza crust. Enjoy!!!!

I use thawed loaves of frozen bread dough and they work great! I roll out directly on the counter (a marble pin works the best--it's very heavy and nothing sticks). One regular loaf makes one round traditional size pizza pan with a crust much like Pizza Huts hand tossed. For stuffed crust, roll it out a big larger so you have room to fold the crust over the cheese. I use string cheese, but shredded would probably work just fine. I've also done sauce and even green whole pitted olives!
After you've got it rolled, fitted on an oiled pan, and stuffed--prick all over (so it doesn't turn into a blob), brush with oil, and I add Italian seasonings. PRE-BAKE it for 10 mins--this will ensure that it bakes all the way thru and isn't slimy. Then top and put back in for another 10-15.
Have fun with it! I've done white pizza (olive oil, fresh herbs, smoked cheese and carmelized onions), regular cheese, lasagna style (flavored ricotta with spinach instead of red sauce and sausage, mexican works prettywell too.
Above answers a start, but make sure you REALLY seal the edges. A wet finger will do. Otherwise cheese melts out of the crust. Trust me, it does.
How can you call pizza something like that? Real pizza: tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, basil and olive oil... NOTHING ELSE!!! ;)
Yeah...use string cheese and wrape the edges of the pizza dough together.
