Recipe Box, Crazy Pizza Bread Loaf
There is a recipe on my Paint Bucket this month for a Pull Apart Pizza from Climbing Grier Mountain
It is basically an assembled raw pizza
Cut into strips and then into squares, stacked into 4 or 5 sections, and placed in a loaf pan to bake
That sounded like fun and a unique twist on pizza
The original recipe is made with Brussels Sprouts, but I decided to go with asparagus
I was going to shave it, using a carrot peeler, but that was way too much trouble, so I just sliced it instead
I used my favorite Pillsbury Thin Crust Pizza Dough in a can
A thin layer of prepared Alfredo
Crispy Bacon and 3 kinds of cheese
Lookin good!
But wait… what’s wrong with this picture 😳
As I began to cut the pizza into strips I realized I made a major mistake
No parchment
No way to get this thin, delicate, sticky dough masterpiece off the cutting board, much less cut it into squares and make nice little stacks
😱
This is where a little pep talk helps
“You can do this!”
“Figure something out!”
Starting from the end I hadn’t cut yet, I carefully rolled…and when I got to the cut strips, I mushed and pleaded and begged it to stick together
Then I cut the roll into 6-7 large slices and placed it in a parchment lined loaf pan
Which is THE BRILLIANT 💡 PART of this method
Spray the loaf pan with cooking spray, line it with parchment and then place the dough on the parchment
When the bread is done it lifts right out!
Cut it into slices or squares
It’s cheesy, gooey, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, oozing bacon and asparagus
You can adapt this method to any combination of ingredients you like!
Crazy Pizza Bread Loaf
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust dough*
- 6-8 slices bacon cooked until crisp
- 16 asparagus spears or one bunch
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 2 oz bleu cheese** crumbled or cut into pieces
- 2 oz grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 oz grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions
- Roll out dough onto a piece of parchment paper for ease of moving later. Spread crust with an even layer of Alfredo sauce. Break tough ends off asparagus and cut stalks lengthwise into 3-4 long pieces, saving tips for another use if desired or you can include tips. Place asparagus pieces evenly over dough. Top with bacon and cheeses. Roll up from short end, carefully tucking ingredients in and mending dough if it tears, into one log roll. Cut into 6-8 slices.
- Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and line with a piece of parchment paper. Place dough slices into pan, as evenly as possible, pressing and squeezing to fit if necessary. Bake loaf at 350 for 30 minutes. Check loaf and continue cooking for 15-30 more minutes until dough is golden brown and cooked through. Let sit in pan 5 minutes, then carefully lift loaf from pan. Slice bread into thick slices or squares to serve.

Oh boy! Yum!
Great idea, looks fun and delicious!! 😋
Jenna, your crazy pizza bread loaf looks amazing! Have a beautiful Sunday!
I bet you serve this tasty creation with lots of napkins!
Well, it’s not exactly finger food, but it’s delicious!
Superb idea 😊
Definitely different!
❤❤
This is a great idea and thanks for the tip on the parchment!
Lining the pan so you can lift any baked good out, makes clean up a breeze!
well creative idea to get around no parchment. 🙂
the bread looks amazing
ha, a lesson I won’t forget!
😉
Wow that looks crazy good!!
It really is good, I’m going to try some other variations~
This looks delicious! You’ve won me over with the words “cheesy, gooey, crispy” 😀
I know, right?!!
Way to make it work! WHOOT! 👊🙌 😃 I figure that as long as it tastes yummy, it is a success! 🍕
Great idea, I’d like that for dinner tonight!
Nice save:@) Sounds like a good lunch!
Perfect title for your brilliant recovery of this hot mess Jenna. You had me laughing and wishing I could grab a slice!!!!!!

ha, yes I was bound and determined to salvage it!
Looks fabulous! I have made chopped pizza before, where you put the ingredients all together on the board – chop the dough up a bit and bake – a lot messier looking than yours but so fun and easy – so I think your solution was perfect. Love the idea of bacon and asparagus!
thanks Jacqueline, I can’t wait to try this again with different ingredients!
Everything is better with bacon. I’ve never tried the pop and fresh pizza dough. This might be good to serve during the Iron Bowl! Thanks, Jenna!
I really like the thin crust style, it has a wonderful flavor and makes great flatbreads
Great save Jenna! Your pizza ingredients sound delicious. ♥
Sounds delicious! 🙂
