04 - ½ cup sour cream
05 - 1 lb ground beef
06 - 8 oz shredded mozzarella

06 - Mix grated parmesan with the melted butter in a small dish. Brush or drizzle this all over the dough.
07 - Pop it in a 375°F oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the top turns golden brown and the filling is bubbling up nicely.
08 - Give the dish a few minutes to cool off before cutting and serving.
