    rolled pizza bread

    When you can’t have pizza on a regular basis, you have to get creative when you get those pizza cravings! I’ve got some dairy free and soy free mozzarella cheese and I figured there would be no way that I could cover an entire pizza with it, and keep it under $5!

    I recalled a Sausage bread that I made years ago…it’s basically homemade pizza crust dough with sausage and jalapenos rolled up with some cheese. (I’m hoping to make it again this summer with jalapenos from the garden…I’m already dreaming about it!)

    I thought it would be the perfect way to do pizza with little cheese…and it totally worked!

    I used the extra tomato sauce for dipping and the boys couldn’t get enough!!!

    I love that we can have pizza again…

    Load up the bread machine. Water, olive oil, milk, salt, wheat flour, white flour, yeast, sugar and Italian seasonings.

    Set to dough cycle.

    (Not the bake cycle…I’ve done that before…it’s not pretty!)

    Beautiful puffy dough.

    While the dough is in the bread machine, make the sauce.

    Prep the pepperoni and the green peppers. And any other “toppings” you’d like to include.

    Fillings, really.

    Run a knife through the pepperoni.

    Then the green peppers.

    When the dough is finished, drop it onto a lightly floured surface.

    Divide into 2 dough balls and knead lightly.

    Toss out a little yellow cornmeal.

    Roll her out!

    But not too thin…you’ll see why in a sec.

    Load with the sauce, pepperoni and green peppers.

    Add the cheese.

    This is the part where yours will have shredded cheese on it! Unless you are using a dairy-free cheese too!

    Roll her up.

    Carefully add to a lightly greased loaf pan.

    Repeat for the second dough ball!

    Bake at 350. For 30 minutes.

    See why I said to not to roll it too thin. This loaf broke open on the top because I rolled it too thin.

    Slice.

    Dip.

    Dip the next bite.

    And the next.

    (K, you get the picture!)

    We ate one of the loaves, and I sliced and froze the other! An easy grab from the freezer…for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

    (Wow, that just took me straight back to my cold pizza for breakfast in college days!)

    Enjoy!

      Looks good! Silly question though- I don’t have a bread maker and have never made my own bread dough before.. could I do this without a bread machine? Just wasn’t sure how the dough making process would go down without that nifty machine so I thought I’d ask!

        Hey Anne!

        You can do this by hand for sure…there is a link for by hand instructions in the recipe. Hope that helps!

      Or heres a thought, it may run an extra dollar or 2, but those of us who do not have a bread machine or the time or patience to make our own dough..How about those Boboli pizza crusts or the cheaper flat taco crusts

      You can get refrigerated ready made pizza and bread dough by the biscuits & cinnamon rolls. I just made homemade bbq chicken pizza for the first time tonight & I loved it! Nobody else would eat it, so I will have lunch for a few days as well. Homemade pizza dough is tasty! I’ll have to try this recipe soon!

      Thanks Erin! Been getting the daily emails for awhile now and bought your first cookbook, too. This post gave me the inspiration (motivation?) I’ve been needing to actually use the bread machine that I got for my birthday… back in June… 🙂 Keep up the great work!

      I read a recipe way back for something very similar that was called a strombolli. I love it and so does my family, we change up the toppings and use roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, olives, and turkey pepperoni with mozzarella sauce. I don’t add sauce to mine just roll up the toppings and bake on a cookie sheet (I don’t use a loaf pan). It comes out great! You can really get creative with them and flavor the dough or toppings anyway you want. I have done these with the refrigerated dough and it comes out great that way too! Thank you for the reminder of a great easy and inexpensive meal.

      I can’t get the print button to work (I noticed someone else had this problem too and left a comment on the page that the print button redirects to). Just wanted to let you know!

      I was wondering where you got the dairy free soy free cheese from? My daughter has a severe allergy to dairy. I have yet to find a dairy-free cheese that taste good. Thanks for any suggestions.

      Brenda, there is a newer dairy-free cheese called Daiya that tastes/melts pretty good — my husband said he wouldn’t have known it wasn’t cow’s milk cheese if I hadn’t mentioned it. I paid $5.99 for an 8-oz bag of shredded “cheddar “, so it’s definitely a splurge item, but once in a while I can stand to do it. Their website has a store locator to find out where you can buy it in your area. Hope this helps!

      sorry but the by hand method talks about using one 1lb of flour how many cups is that and what are the measurements of wheat & white flour? can we use the same recipe you have here for the dough if doing it by hand?

      thanks

      so what kind of cheese did you use? My kids are both allergic to dairy but I haven’t found a good dairy free alternative that my kid will eat.

      This is genius. I just got a new FREE breadmaker (from Freecycle!) and I am definitely going to make this next week.

      Thanks for all the great recipes and great tips. I especially apreciate the dairy free and dairy alternative recipes as I have a granddaughter that has severe dairy allergies. I am always looking for good things that she can eat and you provide easy to follow recipes! Thanks again–Judy Lindsey
