Once again, my pregnant body is craving pizza (we are averaging pizza for 2 meals a week these days…yikes, I know). I came up with a new twist on pizza that my whole family loved!
Braided Pizza Loaf Recipe:
1 roll refrigerated pizza dough
1/2 c. marinara/pizza sauce
1 1/2 c. mozzarella cheese, grated
Pizza toppings of your choice: ie, ham and pineapple, pepperoni slices, sausage, etc.
2 Tbl. grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbl. olive oil or melted butter
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unroll pizza dough on a greased baking sheet. Spread marinara sauce down the middle of your dough.
Add mozzarella cheese and toppings of your choice.
Cut 1 inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough.
Fold 1 inch strips up and over pizza filling, alternating sides to get a braided look. Brush the tops of the braided dough with olive oil or melted butter (I’ve used both and there’s not much difference in result) and then sprinkle with the garlic, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese (I mixed all of these together and then sprinkled on top).
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cook for a few minutes then cut into slices and serve.
Enjoy!
Awesome, I have got to try it. Thanks for breaking it down so it’s not so complicated! Pinned this!
Yum, I love a good twist on pizza!
Oh my goodness! I remember making this in our foods class in high school and I still remember how GOOD and DELICIOUS it was! Glad you resurfaced that memory for me!
oohhh I’m sooo trying this next time!!
Do you use all-purpose flour in your dough? I switched to 00 grade flour in my pizza dough and it makes such a difference. Our favourite topping is caramelised onion and goats cheese.
I am making this tonight!!! Thank you!!!!!
Mmmm this looks so good. We eat pizza so much, and I dont have a pregnancy to excuse myself for that. we’ve made a goal to not eat pizza for 3 weeks, because normally we have it twice a week, but once we are done I will most definitely be making this. Yum!

Wow, nice recipe. Fantastic looking pizza, this is making me hungry
Oh yum. This looks so delicious! Thanks
This looks amazing! I’m pinning it to use later. My husband loves pizza so this will be great.
This looks SO yummy! I love how you brushed the top. Again, mouth watering! Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!
I made this on Friday night for my family and they LOVED it! My canned pizza dough was expired (embarrassingly so) but I used my favorite quick, easy dough recipe and rolled it out into a rectangular shape and it worked great! Everyone said it was better than take out pizza. Definitely a keeper!
WE LOVE pizza in our house. IF you want, come over and link this to my Must Try Monday link party right now. I am going to pin this to my “pizza” board
.
We love this unique concept for pizza! We weren’t big fans of the pre made refrigerated pizza dough, so next time we will use homemade dough, but we WILL be making this again!
Have made it twice (it’s in the oven right now). The family loves it! Thanks for such a fun and easy recipe.
This is one of our favorite meals! We’re having it this week.
