Buffalo Pizza Pull Bread Recipes

BUFFALO-STYLE PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, salt, and sugar. Saute until the tomato paste starts to caramelize on the bottom of the pan, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour in water and whisk to combine; bring to a simmer. Lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to your desired thickness. Turn off the heat and reserve until needed.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Generously grease a sheet pan with olive oil, rubbing some on your fingers as well.
• Press, stretch, and pull pizza dough until it fills the prepared pan, going all the way to the corners. If the dough stops stretching, let it rest for 5 minutes before resuming.
• Top dough with cooled sauce, spreading all the way to the edges of the pan. Sprinkle on mozzarella cheese and add pepperoni. Place the pan on the stove over a high flame, and slowly move it around to evenly apply the heat, until you hear it starting to sizzle, about 1 minute.
• Transfer into the lower center of the preheated oven and bake until cheese is beautifully browned and pepperoni is charred, about 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

KIDS CAN MAKE: PULL-APART PIZZA BREAD

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with oil.
• Pour the 3 tablespoons oil onto a large dinner plate, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pinch off pieces of dough the size of Ping-Pong balls, and roll them into rough balls. Roll each dough ball around in the salted oil until all sides are coated.
• Put half the balls in the prepared pan, squishing them together. Spread half the sauce over the balls, then sprinkle with half the pepperoni, mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat with the remaining dough balls, sauce, pepperoni and cheeses.
• Put the loaf pan on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any drips), and bake until the bread is puffed up and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cover loosely with foil, and continue to bake until the bread is cooked through in the middle, about 25 minutes. Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then use dry oven mitts or kitchen towels to carefully unmold. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan, and serve hot. (Let your guests pull the bread apart!)

BUFFALO CHICKEN FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, sprinkle with ranch dressing mix, and season with cracked pepper. Cook and stir until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes.
• At the same time, melt butter in another skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Brush each flatbread with remaining olive oil, lightly coat with Buffalo wing sauce, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Layer with chicken, shallots, and banana pepper rings, then sprinkle with Gorgonzola cheese crumbles.
• Bake directly on the middle rack of the preheated oven until flatbreads are crispy and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Slice and serve.

BUFFALO CHICKEN PULL APART BREAD RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Roll out dough and cut into 3x3-inch squares (3 rows of 5). You should end up with 15 squares from of each roll. In a bowl, toss together shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, scallions and half the cheese. Begin layering. Brush butter on a rectangle, top with Buffalo chicken mixture, followed by a sprinkling of cheese. Repeat with remaining rectangles, stacking one of top of the other, chicken side up. Brush the inside of a loaf pan with melted butter. Load bread into loaf pan, and brush with remaining butter. Bake for 40-50 minutes.
