Best Cheesy Fiesta Pizza Bread Recipes

PIZZA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise.
• Spread each half of the bread with pizza sauce. Top with cheese. Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning. Arrange pepperoni and olives over the cheese.
• Bake on a sheet pan for 10 minutes or until cheese has fully melted.
• Serve hot.

CHEESY BREADSTICKS MADE FROM PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Prepare pizza dough through step 3. Punch the risen dough down to release the air bubbles. Divide in half. (Make a pizza with the other half or freeze half of the dough for another time. See dough recipe for freezing instructions.)
• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
• On a lightly floured work surface or on a piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat sprinkled with cornmeal (I skipped the optional cornmeal in the video above), roll the dough out into a 9×13 inch rectangle. The dough will want to be round, so do your best to shape it into a thin rectangle around this size- doesn't have to be perfect.
• Combine the butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl. Brush over shaped dough. Cover evenly with shredded cheese.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. If desired, turn the oven to broil for the last minute to really brown the top.
• Slice into breadsticks and serve plain or with marinara sauce. Cover leftover breadsticks tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat as you prefer. Baked breadsticks can be frozen up to 3 months.

CHEESY PIZZA BREAD

Steps:

• Prepare pizza crust as directed.
• Pat into greased 12 inch pizza pan.
• In small bowl, combine butter with seasonings and brush on crust.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake in 450 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Tastes great dipped in spaghetti sauce.

CHEESY FIESTA PIE

Steps:
