Sprinkle a 15-inch round pizza pan with cornmeal
4
Mix the cream cheese, 1/2 cup pepper jack and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined

Stretch the dough almost to the edge of the pizza pan, pressing with your fingertips (lightly oil your hands if the dough is too sticky)
6
Spoon the cream cheese mixture in a thin border around the edge of the dough, about 1/2 inch from the edge
7
Fold the edge of the dough over the cream cheese mixture and pinch to seal

Put the pan on the hot stone and bake until the crust is lightly golden, 5 to 8 minutes
