How to Make Pizza Swirl Bread
First I made my homemade pizza dough…
Ingredients and directions can be found here.
Then I rolled the dough out in an oblong shape and added the usual toppings. Pizza Sauce (or your fave Spaghetti Sauce) Mozzarella Cheese, we used Genoa Salami and sprinkled some Garlic Salt on top.
Then I rolled the dough length wise like I was making cinnamon rolls.
Fold under the ends like so…
Now place into either a lightly greased pan or non stick pan..
Now cover with a cotton cloth and let rise for an hour. This is the second rise. The first rise is from making the original pizza recipe.
It will double in size.
Now bake in a 375 degree oven for 35 min. BUT half way through the cooking process, take the bread out and spray with cooking spray, add cheese and sprinkle with Garlic Salt.
The reason that I waited is because I’ve learned that if you put cooking spray on top at the very beginning it absorbs right into the dough and I wanted to use it to hold the Garlic Salt on place and to brown the bread a bit. AND I didn’t want to put the cheese on too early and burn it.
Pop back into oven for the remaining cooking time.
Ok are you ready for this…Oh yum!
This was so deelish that one of my teens said “Wow Mom this is the most professional bread you’ve ever made!” LOL ok then…I’ll take that as a compliment!
PS..this does take a little time as it raised 2 times…so about 2 hours for the raising and making then 35 min for cooking..but it was worth it. Maybe I’ll maybe I’ll try one that doesn’t need to raise twice and see how that turns out. Raise your hand if that sounds like a good idea! Aww time is at a premium isn’t it?!
Have a Super Blessed day!!

FAQs
The main difference is that pizza dough is often made with a higher protein flour (bread flour is perfect). Bread dough can also be made with bread flour (of course) but some types of bread dough are better made with a lower protein flour like all purpose flour.
Can you bake pizza dough like bread? ›
The bread can be made with a variety of pizza dough styles, but we think our Sourdough, Neo-Neapolitan or Classic Pizza Dough all work well. Make sure to prepare your dough ahead of time to ensure it rises at room temperature before firing up your oven.
Is pizza dough white bread? ›
The main dissimilarity between pizza dough and bread dough is the way they are handled. They have different formulas as well, where the amounts of salt, water, and oil vary. They're both consisting of whole wheat flour, white flour, and some are even made into sourdough.
Can you use pizza flour for bread? ›

Is pizza dough better with bread flour or all-purpose flour? ›
For Chewy Pizza Crust, Use Bread Flour
Bread flour is higher in protein than all-purpose, at around 11 to 13%. Higher protein content means higher gluten content, as we now know, so using bread flour in your pizza dough will result in a stretchy dough that's less likely to tear.
What is the best flour to make pizza dough? ›
The best flour for making Deep-Dish Pizza Dough is all-purpose flour. In bakeries and pizzerias, Pizza Flour is often used because it is a high-protein flour that produces a light and airy crust. However, all-purpose flour will also work well for Deep-Dish Pizza Dough.
What is pizza dough bread called? ›
The dough used for pizza is exactly the same as the dough for a lean bread, made with flour, water, yeast and salt, with the addition of a bit of olive oil. You can use the same dough to make focaccia, or shape it and bake it in a loaf pan, or as a ciabatta.
Does pizza dough have eggs or milk? ›
Most pizza dough does not contain dairy. It includes flour, yeast, and water, along with some salt and sugar. Some pizza doughs contain eggs. So, it's best to double check the ingredients or contact the manufacturer if you have an allergy.
Why does pizza dough taste like bread? ›
So why does pizza crust sometimes have such a strong yeasty flavor? Well, it's not the yeast that you're tasting; it's a combination of the three main by-products of yeast fermentation—carbon dioxide, alcohol, and acids (acetic, lactic and propionic)—that you are smelling.
Is 00 pizza flour the same as 00 flour? ›
There are different types of 00 flour, depending on whether you want to use it for making pasta or pizza dough. The main difference between these flours is gluten content, as pasta-making requires a slightly lower gluten flour than pizza. They will usually be clearly labelled as '00 pasta flour' or '00 pizza flour'.
This soft, powder-like flour is perfect for creating that irresistibly airy, crispy crust. So while you can use type 00 flour for coatings, breadings, pasta and baked goods, type 00 flour really shines in the pizzeria as the foundation for superior pizzas, calzones and focaccia breads.
Should you put oil in pizza dough? ›
Adding oil to your pizza dough makes it crispier once baked. The oil creates an impermeable layer that moisture, such as that present in tomato sauce, cannot easily penetrate. In other words, olive oil in pizza dough prevents sauce from absorbing into the dough and making it floppy.
Is pizza dough the same as baguette dough? ›
The answer is both yes and no. While both pizza dough and bread dough contain similar ingredients, their proportions and preparation methods vary greatly to set them apart. Pizza dough is typically made to be thinner and softer than bread dough, which is often thicker and chewier.
Is pizza dough always sourdough? ›
You can make really good dough with commercial yeast, a preferment, and a long bulk fermentation. Sourdough is nice but not critical for pizza dough. Pizza dough is NOT usually sour dough. Pizza dough is a very simple dough similar to italian bread.
What type of dough is pizza dough? ›
Pizza crust, like homemade bagels, artisan bread, and focaccia, requires a lean dough. A lean dough doesn't use eggs or butter. Without the extra fat to make the dough soft, you're promised a crusty pizza crust. (However, I recommend using some olive oil for flavor and to keep the interior on the softer side.)
Can you use pizza yeast for bread? ›
Yes. I used pizza yeast to make bread when there were yeast shortages. It was fine. If you've had it for a while, there's a risk that the yeast has died, so I would advise doing the proof step in warm sugar water and make sure it foams.
