Ingredients

4 cans (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Thin Crust Pizza Crust
3 oz pepperoni
3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups pizza sauce
1 string cheese

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 425° F. Spray a football-shaped cake pan with cooking spray. Unroll 2 pizza crusts onto baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
2

Cut football shapes out of crusts, one larger than the other. Unroll and drape another tube of pizza dough over the inside of football pan. Sprinkle on 1/4 of pepperoni, cheese, and sauce. Top with smaller football-shaped crust.
3

Sprinkle on 1/3 remaining pepperoni, cheese, and sauce. Top with larger football-shaped crust. Sprinkle on remaining pepperoni, cheese, and sauce.
4

Unroll and drape another can of pizza dough over top of the pan. Cut off dough around the edge of pan. Pinch dough together along the edge of pan.
5

Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the oven off, cover pizza with foil, and leave in oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, use string cheese to create the laces for the football.
6

Remove pizza from the oven and un-mold it onto a serving platter. Add string cheese laces to the top of football. Serve hot.
