For years, Domino's Pizza has resisted jumping on the stuffed crust bandwagon, with many assuming that their stuffed cheesy bread was their equivalent. However, in 2023, Domino's finally launched its first-ever stuffed crust pizza, featuring a crust stuffed with melty cheese made from 100% real mozzarella, topped with garlic seasoning, and a sprinkling of Parmesan. To promote the launch, Domino's is giving away free Parmesan-stuffed crust pizzas to randomly selected entrants who submit a screenshot of a past receipt for a stuffed crust pizza from a competitor.

What You'll Learn
How to make Domino's Pizza dough at home
To make Domino's Pizza dough at home, you will need a mixing bowl, 6 main ingredients, and a "goodie bag" of secret ingredients. The 6 main ingredients are flour, water, salt, sugar, yeast, and oil. The "goodie bag" contains whey (a dry milk product), maltodextrin (preservative), dextrose (sweetener), and a dough conditioner (enhancer).
To make the dough, combine the water, yeast, sugar, salt, and oil in a large mixing bowl. Then, add the dry milk, baking powder, and flour. Stir the mixture and knead it for 7 minutes (over low speed if using a mixer). If you want to add more garlic flavour to your dough, add a teaspoon of garlic powder.
Next, divide the dough into 3 12-ounce balls. Place the dough balls into a lightly greased tray and oil the tops. You can keep the dough refrigerated and covered for up to 4 days or freeze it. When you're ready to make your pizza, dredge each dough ball into 1 cup of cornmeal and stretch it to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a greased pizza pan with holes.
To create a cheese crust, brush a garlic-infused butter or oil over the crust's edge and sprinkle with seasonings like garlic salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or parmesan cheese. For a stuffed crust, you can add mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with parmesan for extra cheesy bits.
Domino's uses flat pizza disks with holes and cooks them in a conveyor oven. You can use any pizza pan and cook your pizza according to your oven's instructions. Spread 1 cup of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust. Top with your favourite ingredients or create a specialty pizza. Enjoy your homemade Domino's-style pizza!

How to flavour the crust
To flavour the crust of your pizza, you can follow these steps:
Firstly, prepare a garlic-infused butter or oil by heating crushed garlic cloves in butter or oil over low heat. This will form the base of your crust flavouring. You can also add other herbs and spices to the butter or oil, such as Italian seasoning or parsley, to enhance the flavour.
Next, once your pizza is baked, brush the infused butter or oil generously over the crust. This will add a delicious garlic flavour to the crust and also help to make it crispy. You can also sprinkle on some garlic salt or garlic powder for an extra punch of garlicky goodness.
To take it a step further, you can add some cheese to the crust before baking. Choose a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend of cheeses. Sprinkle the cheese onto the outer edge of the pizza dough, and then bake as usual. This will create a cheesy crust that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Additionally, you can experiment with other seasonings on top of the crust, such as parmesan cheese, fennel seeds, or even red pepper flakes for a spicier kick. Get creative and combine different seasonings to find your perfect flavour combination.
Finally, don't forget to serve your pizza with a dipping sauce that complements the flavours you've chosen for the crust. Options could include a marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or even a garlic butter sauce. Enjoy your delicious, flavourful pizza!

How to make a robust tomato sauce
To make a robust tomato sauce, you'll need to gather the right ingredients and be prepared to let the sauce cook slowly.
Firstly, you'll need to select your tomatoes. Canned San Marzano plum tomatoes are considered the best in the world for sauces. They are grown in Southern Italy, between Naples and Salerno, in potassium-rich volcanic soil, which gives them a rich, sweet flavor and thicker consistency. If you can't get hold of San Marzano tomatoes, any other variety of canned tomatoes will work, but be sure to use a product of Italy to ensure top quality.
Next, you'll need to gather the rest of your ingredients. These include garlic cloves, quality tomato paste, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. You may also want to add some fresh herbs such as basil and oregano, although these should be added at the end of cooking to preserve their flavor. If you want to add a little sweetness to your sauce, you can add sugar, although this can be omitted if using sweeter San Marzano tomatoes. Other optional ingredients include onions, wine, and a carrot to simmer in the sauce and balance the acidity.
Once you have your ingredients, the process is simple. Start by heating some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your onions and cook until slightly softened, this should take around 2 minutes. Next, add your garlic and tomato paste and cook until darkened. You can also add your herbs at this stage, blooming them in the hot oil before adding the tomatoes. Then, stir in your blended tomato sauce and wine or stock, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened. This should take around 30 minutes, but the longer you let it cook, the richer your sauce will be.
This sauce can be used as a base for a variety of dishes, from pizza to pasta, and can be frozen or canned for later use.
