Braided Pizza Bread
Ingredients
Dough
- 5 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons instant yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups warm water
- 1/2 cup oil
Filling
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup pepperoni
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation
Set the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 180°C.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle.
Using a pizza cutter, cut strips on the longer sides, leaving the center third uncut for the filling.
Spread the filling in the center.
Fold the short end over the filling and braid the strips alternately to form a braid shape and seal the ends well.
Brush the surface with egg.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown, then remove from the oven and serve hot.
