Cheese Burst Pizza Recipe

Cheese burst pizza is one of every cheese lover's dream that is gooey, melty and totally addictive. I recently made it at home using my own pizza dough and it turned out just like the one they serve at Domino's. The crust was golden, crispy on the outside with a rich, creamy cheese sauce inside which just melts in your mouth.

In this post, I'm sharing a simple, tried and tested method to make that classic Domino's style cheese burst pizza at home with the soft base that bursts with cheese flavour. 

About Cheese Burst Pizza

Cheese burst pizza is a super popular pizza made with a thick crust that is stuffed with warm, molten cheese inside. It looks like a regular pizza but once you take a bite, the creamy cheese filling oozes out and gives a cheesy experience.

This pizza became really famous in India after Domino's introduced it in 2007 and since then it became a favourite among pizza lovers.

When I first tried making it at home, I took some attempts and made variations to get the cheesy centre just right.

Initially, the regular mozzarella cheese was too stretchy, so I switched to smooth cheese sauce in the centre filling, which gave the perfect soft, creamy and cheesy texture. The cheesy pull is absolutely irresistible and worth the try! 

The best part about the recipe is that the toppings and base are flexible; you can make the base with whole wheat flour dough, millet pizza dough or even use leftover roti. And add vegetables of your choice like paneer, corn, mushroom or chicken if you love. 

Ingredients

• Pizza dough : This is the base of the pizza and I used my homemade pizza dough.
• Cheese sauce : Cheese sauce is the key ingredient that gives the cheese burst effect inside the crust. It bakes creamy inside and gives a gooey, indulgent texture. 
• Pizza sauce : This sauce adds a slightly tangy and sweet flavour that balances the richness of cheese and seasoning. Spread a thin and even layer on the pizza base. 
• Vegetables : I have added vegetables like onion and capsicum. It adds mild sweetness and slight crunch when baked. You can add any topping of your choice like paneer, mushroom, corn, or chicken. It makes the pizza more flavourful and delicious. 
• Seasoning : Oregano and chilli flakes are the classic pizza seasonings that give the restaurant style aroma with a hint of heat. 
• Black olives : Black olives add a mild tangy taste that pairs perfectly with cheese. 
• Olive oil : Olive oil turns the pizza golden and slightly crispy when baked. It also adds a rich flavour to the pizza. 
• Mozzarella cheese : This is the main topping cheese that melts beautifully and gives the classic stretchy cheese pull. It adds a mild, creamy taste without overpowering the flavours.

Expert Tips

• Spread the cheese sauce evenly on the pizza base and seal it tightly so that it doesn't leak while baking. 
• Make sure the oven is preheated so the crust bakes evenly.
• Before baking, prick tiny holes on the top layer using a fork so that pizza won't puff up and form a crispy bottom. 

Storage & Serving

Store the leftover pizza slices in an airtight container and it stays good in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days. 

Serve the delicious Domino's cheese burst pizza with seasonings, cheese sauce or with tomato ketchup. Enjoy it hot and cheesy straight from the oven.
