Ultimate Double Cheeseburger Pizza Stack
Ingredients
For the Dough (or store-bought pizza crust):
-
2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 tsp sugar
-
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
-
1 cup (240 ml) warm water
-
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Burger Layer:
-
1 lb (450 g) ground beef
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp onion powder
-
4 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
For the Pizza Stack:
-
½ cup pizza sauce
-
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup sliced pickles
-
½ cup diced tomatoes
-
¼ cup diced onions
-
Optional: bacon bits, lettuce, or mustard drizzle
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough (Skip if Using Store-Bought)
-
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit 5–10 minutes until frothy.
-
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
-
Add yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead 5–7 minutes until smooth.
-
Cover and let rise 1 hour until doubled in size.
2. Cook the Burger Patties
-
Season ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
-
Shape into 4 small patties.
-
Cook in a skillet over medium heat 3–4 minutes per side until done.
-
Top each patty with a slice of cheese, cover, and let melt.
3. Assemble the Pizza Stack
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Roll out pizza dough into a rectangle or circle on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the dough.
-
Place a burger patty (with melted cheese) on top.
-
Sprinkle some mozzarella, diced onions, tomatoes, and pickles.
-
Repeat layering with remaining patties and toppings for a “stack” effect.
-
Finish with a final layer of mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake
-
Bake 12–15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
5. Serve
-
Slice like a pizza.
-
Optional: drizzle with ketchup, mustard, or special burger sauce.
💡 Tips & Variations
-
Extra cheesy: Add cheddar or American slices between each layer of mozzarella.
-
Crispy crust: Pre-bake dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
-
Bacon lover: Layer crispy bacon between burger patties.
-
Mini version: Make as individual “burger pizza stacks” for parties.
If you want, I can make a fully stacked version that’s more like a towering burger-pizza hybrid, with multiple layers and a gooey cheese pull. Do you want that version?
