  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

– 1 cup diced pepperoni

– 1/2 cup sliced and drained black olives

– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley snipped

– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

– 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon minced garlic

– 1 refrigerated French bread dough (about 400 grams)

– 1 egg white for brushing

– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– 1 cup pizza sauce for dipping

Instructions

1-Getting started: with this Pepperoni Taco Twist Pizza is exciting and simple, beginning with preheating your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). In a bowl, mix together the diced pepperoni, sliced black olives, snipped fresh parsley, shredded mozzarella cheese, all-purpose flour, and minced garlic to create a flavorful filling. This step ensures all the ingredients blend well before adding them to the dough.

2-Next, roll out the refrigerated French bread dough with the seam sides up, cut it lengthwise, and open it up while sprinkling flour to keep it from sticking. Shape the dough to form a well in the center, then spoon in the prepared mixture and gather the edges to seal everything inside. For the fun part, braid the dough while leaving an opening in the center to let steam escape during baking.

3-First Steps: Mixing and Shaping: Once your filling is ready, brush the braided dough with egg white for a golden finish, then sprinkle it with Italian seasoning and top with grated Parmesan cheese. This adds extra flavor and a nice crunch. Place it on a baking sheet and get ready to bake for about 30 minutes until it’s golden brown.

4-After baking, let it cool slightly, slice it up, and serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping. The total time for preparation and cooking is around 40 minutes, making it a quick option for any day.
