Pizza Bread Recipes

HOMEMADE PIZZA BREAD

Steps:

• Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a large bowl. Let it sit for 3 minutes. Add in flour, salt, and sugar. Mix using a spoon just until it comes together. (There's no need for a big stand mixer here.)
• Add in the toppings and Parmesan and combine well. The dough will be tacky. Dust with a bit more flour if it feels too tacky. Let rise for about 1 hour, then put in the refrigerator to continue rising for another hour.
• Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Flour your countertop, then roll out the dough into a rectangle about 11×17".
• Sprinkle mozzarella over top. Then, fold along the long side, like an envelope. Seal sides so cheese is not exposed. Let your loaf rest while you preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Bake the bread, either on a pizza stone or baking sheet, for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown.
• About halfway through I added a piece of aluminum foil to the top of my loaf to prevent it from getting too dark. About 3 minutes before taking it out, lightly brush the top with olive oil and let it finish baking. Let rest on a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing.

HOW TO MAKE PIZZA BREAD

Steps:

• Move a rack to the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 °F (218 °C). Before you turn the oven on, adjust the racks so there's 1 in the top third of the oven. Then, turn the oven on to 425 °F (218 °C) so it heats while you're assembling your pizza.
• Slice a large loaf of bread in half lengthwise and crosswise. Lay a large loaf of French or Italian bread on a cutting board and slice it in half lengthwise. Then, cut across each of the halves to make 4 equal-sized pieces. Push down on each piece until it's half its original height. French bread pizza is best with soft bread, but you could use sourdough bread for pizza that's slightly chewy.
• Bake the bread for 5 minutes so it becomes golden brown. Turn the pieces so they're cut-side up and put them onto a rimmed baking sheet. Pop them in the oven to toast for 5 minutes. If you don't have a rimmed baking sheet, you can use a flat sheet; just don't let the bread slide off!
• Rub a peeled garlic clove over the bread for extra flavor. Once the bread is toasted, wear oven mitts to remove the sheet from the oven. Peel 1 garlic clove and slice in half. Then, rub the garlic over the cut side of each bread piece. If you don't like garlic, skip this step.
• Top the bread with sauce, cheese, and any ingredients you like. Place the bread back on the sheet and spoon 3/4 cup (170 g) of pizza sauce evenly over them. Sprinkle 1 cup (113 g) of shredded mozzarella cheese along with 1/4 cup (25 g) of grated Parmesan cheese on the bread. To make your bread pizza more filling, add 1 cup (150 g) of toppings like: Caramelized onions with sliced mushrooms Pepperoni or ham with diced bell peppers Shredded chicken with pineapple and barbecue sauce Pesto with fresh mozzarella and sundried tomatoes Ground beef with mushrooms, onion, and peppers
• Bake the bread pizzas for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Put the bread pizzas back into the oven and bake them until the cheese melts and bubbles. Carefully remove the pizzas and scatter 2 tablespoons (2 g) of fresh basil leaves over them if you'd like to add a bright flavor. Put the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.

• For pizzas with a crispy top, place the pan back under the broiler for 2 minutes after baking. If using the broiler, use foil instead of parchment paper on the baking sheet.
• Sprinkle fresh oregano and marjoram on the melted cheese, then slice the pizzas into 1-inch sections to serve.

FRENCH BREAD PIZZAS

Steps:

• For the pizza base: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lay the rolls cut-side up on a large baking sheet. Top each half with marinara sauce (or pesto for the tomato basil pizzas), followed by the mozzarella. Then add your toppings of choice. See below for directions for assembling specific pizzas.
• Once the pizzas are assembled, put the baking sheet on the lowest rack for 8 to 10 minutes. Then turn up the heat to 425 degrees F and put the sheet on the highest rack until the cheese starts to bubble a bit and turns golden. Remove and serve immediately! Cut the pizzas in half right across the middle so there are mini French bread pizzas for everyone.

PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine. While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
• Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead, adding more flour to surface as needed until no longer sticky and dough is smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a large greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes; transfer bowl to refrigerator and chill overnight. Allow dough to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before rolling.
