Not Made Of Money

For this week’s Cook at Home day, I made a pizza bread. I got the idea from Kate at the “Cooking During Stolen Moments” blog. I just adapted my own recipe from my own pizza recipe. Instead of making the pizza in the regular manner, I used the same ingredients but “rolled up” the dough to make a loaf of bread instead. This was really tasty and was a big hit with the kids.

Ingredients for the Pizza Dough:
1 cup very hot water
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2-1/2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons canola oil

Mix all these ingredients in a bowl until they are well combined and form a ball of dough. Let rest for about 5 minutes.

Sauce Ingredients:
1 cup of tomato sauce
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon sugar

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and simmer for 5 minutes to bring out the flavors.

Putting it all together: Roll out the pizza dough to form a rectangle. I rolled mine out on to wax paper which allowed me to easily roll the dough up into a loaf form. Spread the sauce on the top leaving about a 1 inch margin around the sides of the dough empty. Sprinkle cheese and any other topics you like on the top. Roll the dough into a loaf form and pinch the edges shut. Cook the pizza bread in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Here is a picture of the finished product. The picture didn’t come out too well but the pizza bread didn’t last too long so it must have been good!
