Twisted Pizza Bread

Twisted Pizza Bread is an easy lunch to make without takeout.  My grandson loves pizza and he loves the double crust.  I decided to put a second pizza crust on top of the dressed pizza.  Then I pinched all the edges and cut wedges.  Each wedge was twisted and thus the name.

My grandson’s seal of approval is on this and he is a pizza connoisseur.  He told me that he would design a whole pizza world where everything is about pizza.  He brings so much joy to our lives and pizza is his favourite.

When I started out with this idea, I was thinking of making more of a pizza pie or large Panzerotti, but then I thought everything would be soggy.  I wanted more crunch and cheese.  LOL

Ingredients

Crust

• 1 cup 00 flour
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp yeast
• 1 tsp olive oil

Stuffing

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 1 cup peperoni
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan

Finishing touches

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup shredded  mozzarella
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

The Process

Combine the flours and salt in a blender and pulse.  Pour the yeast and sugar into the warm water and let it sit for a few minutes.  Then pour into blender and pulse until dough comes together.

pull the dough onto the counter and knead it a few minutes and then put it into an oiled bowl to rest for an hour.  cover it with plastic and then with a towel.

I place my sauce on the first layer and follow with the cheeses and pepperoni.

Place the second layer of dough over the pizza and pinch the edges.

Use a glass in the centre so that when you start to cut the wedges you don’t go too far.

Once all the wedges are cut remove the glass.

Begin to twist the wedges.

Once all the wedges are twisted, let it sit covered with a tea towel for 15 minutes.

Brush with olive oil.  Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning and then sprinkle on the mozzarella and grated parmesan.  Place in a 425 F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Out of the oven.
