Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Feel free to customize your pizza bread with other toppings, such as olives, bell peppers, or mushrooms, to suit your family’s tastes.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a bundt pan or a large loaf pan with a bit of olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and your chosen toppings evenly over the sauce.
- Cut the dough into squares, about 2 inches each. Stack the squares on top of each other and place them into the prepared pan, creating a layered effect.
- Cover the pan with a cloth and let the dough rise again for about 20 minutes.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the bread warm, pulling apart each cheesy, delicious piece.
