How to Make Pizza Filled Braid

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine pizza dough ingredients (see ingredients list) and knead until smooth and elastic. Let rise for 45 minutes in a lightly oiled bowl.
  3. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (approximately 12x18 inches).
  4. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and any other desired pizza toppings.
  6. Tightly roll the dough from the long side into a log.
  7. Cut the log in half lengthwise, creating two long strands.
  8. Braid the two strands together.
  9. Pinch the ends of the braid to seal.
  10. Place the braid on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
