Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices (or other toppings like olives, bell peppers, or mushrooms)
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients.
Slowly add the warm water to the dry ingredients while stirring. Add the olive oil and mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle that fits the prepared baking dish.
Transfer the dough into the baking dish, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute your chosen toppings (e.g., pepperoni, olives, bell peppers) over the cheese layer.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the exposed edges of the dough for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into squares or sticks. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Pizza Pleasure Bread!
