Oh my gosh did this turn out wonderful! Anybody can make this simple Pizza Bread! I have been wanting to try this for some time now. I wanted to keep it simple yet elegant looking and it worked! I made this with onion, cheese and lots of pepperoni but you can make it any way you want by adding some mushrooms, sausage, peppers etc. It is like a pizza wrapped in the dough and topped with sweet dried basil.

Ingredients – Plus 1 Tbsp butter

Melt butter and add chopped onion

(and any other vegetables you want)

Cook vegetables until they are half way cooked.

Cook sausage if you decide to use it too.

Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Place pizza dough on it and pat it out to 11″ x 14″ size.

In the center of the dough, make three rows

of pepperoni, lengthwise, using all of the

pepperoni. Place chopped, cooked onion

(or any other vegetables and cooked meat),

evenly on top of the pepperoni.

Add about 1/4 cup sauce on top of the onions.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Using kitchen scissors, cut the sides of

the dough to within 1/2″ of the filling.

Fold the ends up then crisscross the cut

pieces from the left side then the right

side covering all of the filling.

******************

Make an egg wash by whisking the egg

and water together and then brushing

it all over the top of the dough in a

thin coat. Sprinkle with dried basil.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven

for 11-15 minutes. If it is not a golden

brown on top, switch the oven

to broil and watching carefully, finish

browning the top to a golden brown.

Let the Pizza Bread sit for 10 minutes then slice.

Dip into the leftover pizza sauce if you wish.

  30. I just made it with onions, baby bell peppers, mushrooms and natural uncured pepperoni inside, with Asiago and Parmesan cheese. It is so yummy I ate almost 1/2 of it by myself 🙂

  33. You have great taste in dishes. The rose patterned one shown above was my mother’s favorite set. Unfortunately, because she added so much to it, I had to let it go when cleaning out her house. Anyway, the picture sure did bring back some memories. Plus the pizza bread looks delish!
