This Braided Pizza Bread has been a huge hit at many of my parties and gatherings. Instead of serving a typical garlic bread, I twisted the idea and created this bacon and mozzarella cheese stuffed bread with a side serving of cream cheese and mayo dipping sauce.
Perfect to offer as a side to anything or as a party starter with some other of your favorite finger foods and snacks.
To make Braided Pizza Bread, you will need the following ingredients:So, how to make Braided Pizza Bread?
In a microwave-safe bowl, in the microwave, melt butter and milk together until combined.
Add yeast, sugar and salt and mix until combined.
Add flour and mix again until just begins to come together.
Transfer to a ziploc or plastic bag and knead for about 30 seconds.
Open the bag about ⅔ and place it in the microwave. Heat at 200 watts for about 30 seconds.
Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm area for about 30 minutes to rise.
Once risen, punch through the dough to release any excess gas. Roll out onto a lightly floured surface and cut half of the dough into strips. Braid bottom strips.
On the second half of the dough, spread tomato sauce evenly over and top with mozzarella cheese, bacon and a few basil leaves.
Roll the two pieces of dough into a ring shape by joining the 2 ends together and twisting down from the top.
Beat an egg and brush over the pizza braid. Season with black pepper as needed.
Bake in an oven at 340 ºF for 30 minutes until baked and golden.
In a small serving bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise and oregano for the dipping sauce.
Remove pizza bread from the oven and serve warm with prepared dipping sauce.
