Crazy Pizza Bread Loaf

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 55 minutes
Course Appetizer, Main Course
Cuisine American

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.

Notes

*I used Pillsbury Thin Crust dough for this recipe, if you use another dough, baking time might need to be adjusted
**sub mozzarella or white cheddar if you prefer
