From my dear friend, BJGourmet: "The "Insider Pizza" features an "ooey, gooey" blend of six cheeses packed inside two thin crusts and covered with tangy sauce, more cheese and a choice of toppings.
I've not tried it, but when I found the recipe on
http://www.topsecretrecipes.com
contributed by an "insider" at corporate "Pizza Hut", well...
I wanted to share it with all of you who may wish it to make it at home...
A Pizza Inside A Pizza
2 cans refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade thin crust dough)
1 jar of your favorite pizza sauce (or your homemade pizza sauce)
2 3/4 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
3/4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3/4 cups shredded Provolone cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp grated Romano cheese
Toppings of your choice
Preheat oven to 475°. On a lightly floured surface, unroll pizza dough. Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, roll dough to 1/4" thickness. Place dough in well-greased 12" perforated pizza pan. Trim dough with knife or pizza wheel to fit inside diameter of pan. Pierce dough with fork every 1/2" to prevent air bubbles. Pre-bake dough for 5 minutes. Remove crust from pan and place on wire rack to cool.
Repeat step 2 for remaining uncooked dough, but this time trim excess dough by rolling a rolling pin over the top edge of the pan to form a lip on the crust. Pierce with a fork as stated above.
Combine cheeses (reserve 2 cups of mozzarella for the top) in a bowl and distribute evenly on the dough. Place pre-baked crust in the center on top of the cheese blend.
Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce to edge of pre-baked crust. Distribute toppings evenly on top crust starting with meats then vegetables. Cover with remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown. Remove from pan, cut and serve.
