Pizza Braid Recipe- Ready in under 20 minutes!

It’s funny how this Pizza Braid recipe is so simple, yet I only seem to make it about once a year—on my husband’s birthday. It’s his absolute favorite! I’ve been making it for him since we first got together in 2017. So, This is for you babe. Happy Birthday and I love you more than you can ever fathom! 

Pizza Braided Bread

The best thing about this recipe is that you can customize it with any pizza ingredients you love! But let me share my go-to version with you:

  • Refrigerated Pizza Crust – I use Pillsbury Thin Crust Pizza Crust (10-oz tube).
  • Mozzarella Cheese – Because what’s pizza without melty cheese?
  • Toppings – My favorites are pepperoni or cooked ground sausage, but feel free to get creative! Think mushrooms, peppers, onions, pineapple, ham—whatever you love.
  • Italian Seasoning – For that classic pizza flavor.
  • Butter – To brush on top for a golden, flavorful crust.
  • Garlic Powder or Italian Seasoning – Adds extra depth to every bite.
  • Pizza Sauce – You can serve it on the side for dipping, but I like to spread it inside for extra flavor! (if you click here you can watch my tik tok on making your OWN pizza sauce)

Preheat your oven to 350, and essentially you are just layering sauce, cheese, pepperoni (meat or whatever toppings) and braiding this before baking it. 

Preheat your oven to 350°F. The process is simple—just layer your sauce, cheese, and toppings (like pepperoni, sausage, or any favorites), then braid the dough before baking. That’s it!

You can watch me actually "Braid" it here- 

But, I promise no wrong way to do it.

Bake on a baking sheet  ( I REALLY love this set, click here to check those out) or  a Pizza Stone like this one!  for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top, and you are done! Now, If you are really fancy you can put melted garlic butter on it. My family will eat it either way! 

Sharing my recipes is more than just cooking—it’s a reminder that I am my mother’s daughter. Her love for food, creativity, and talent in the kitchen have shaped me, and I’m forever grateful for her guidance. She can truly do anything, and I’m lucky to have learned from the best.
