Step-by-Step Instructions for Irresistible Pizza Bread
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water and 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt, ensuring all ingredients are well blended.
  3. Slowly add 3 cups of all-purpose flour while stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough begins to form.
  4. Turn the shaggy dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth to rise for about 1 hour.
  6. After rising, punch the dough down gently and roll it out into a rectangular shape.
  7. Spread your favorite pizza sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add Italian herbs.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the pizza bread for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
