Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make the best pizza loaf.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to develop flavor and rise properly.
  • Preheat the oven before baking the pizza loaf. This will help the crust to cook evenly.
  • Bake the pizza loaf until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza loaf cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from running out.
