CRAZY PIZZA BREAD ~ BLOG 366.347

I adapted this version of Crazy Pizza Bread from Sandra at Full Bellies Happy Kids who adapted it from The Ivory Hut

Sandra said that the first thing that came to her mind was, WHY didn’t I think of that?. I have to concur!!!! This is sooooooooo simple and beyond delicious! Hubby gave it a HUGE seal of approval. I like to make these individually like the pasties we used to get back east. Sometimes I over fill them LOL 😂

CRAZY PIZZA BREAD
1 teaspoon yeast
3/4 cup warm water
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon FRESH ground kosher salt
(2 cups favorite toppings, chopped)
1/2 cup small chopped sausage pieces
1/3 cup small diced pepperoni
1/3 cup small diced red onion
1/3 cup small diced marinated artichokes, drained well
1/4 cup (rehydrated, but drained) sun-dried tomatoes, chopped small
1/4 cup small diced red pepper

1 SMALL bunch green onions, chopped
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon avocado oil

  • Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a bowl and let sit 3 minutes until foamy.
  • Add flour and salt, mixing by using a mixer, spoon, or your hands JUST until it comes together.
  • Add in the toppings and combine well. Dough will be tacky, dust with a bit of extra flour if it feels too tacky.
  • Let rise for about an hour at room temperature.
  • Place in the refrigerator to rise for another hour.
  • Take the dough out of the refrigerator.
  • On a floured surface roll out into a rectangle about 11×17”.
  • Sprinkle cheese over top.
  • Evenly layer the “toppings” or innards over the cheese.
  • Fold along the long side, like an envelope.
  • Seal sides so cheese is not exposed.
  • Let rest while you preheat oven to 450°.
  • After oven comes to temperature wait 15-20 minutes before baking pizza.
  • Bake the bread 25-30 minutes on a pizza stone or baking sheet until golden brown.
  • Brush the top with olive oil a few minutes before removing from oven.
  • Let rest on a wire rack to cool 5 minutes before slicing.
