Why You’ll Love sourdough bread Pizza
key ingredients
- Loaf of sourdough bread: The fresh sourdough baguette or loaf makes this pizza extra easy! You don’t have to worry about making or rolling out pizza dough.
- Pizza Sauce: Use your favorite store-bought marinara or pizza sauce or simply make your own tomato sauce from scratch.
- Parmesan Cheese: I like to grate or shred my own parmesan because it has better flavors than store-bought pre-grated parmesan.
- Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded mozzarella cheese is the perfect cheese for pizza.
- Pepperoni: Use your favorite brand. Mini pepperonis are fun to use too for the kiddos.
how to make Sourdough Pizza Bread
Prepare bread and add sauce: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice sourdough loaf in half lengthwise. Spread pizza sauce in an even layer over the top.
Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese on top.
Add pepperoni and bake: Add pepperoni slices or other favorite toppings. Place on a baking sheet or pan and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbles, then broil for 2 minutes until the cheese is a light golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes, then cut into slices and enjoy!
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARINARA SAUCE AND PIZZA SAUCE?
The consistency is the biggest difference! Marinara is much lighter than pizza sauce and is spreads easier on top of the pizza. Pizza sauce is thicker.
CAN I USE PASTA SAUCE FOR PIZZA?
You can! You may need to simmer the pasta sauce in a saucepan until it thickens to be a little more similar to pizza sauce. Feel free to add your favorite types of herbs and seasoning to the sauce.
recipe tips
- Garlic flavor: If you want to you add garlic flavor, add a head of roasted garlic or chopped garlic cloves. Find out how to easily make roasted garlic here.
- Extra crispy: Bake it for a few minutes longer, but be careful not to burn it.
- Extra cheesy: Add more cheese on top and shred the cheese yourself instead of buying pre-shedded cheese.
- Garnishes: Top the fresh baked pizza with shredded fresh basil, fresh cracked black pepper, oregano, flaky salt, olive oil, pizza seasoning, red chili flakes or fresh herbs.
variations
- Bread: Instead of a sourdough loaf, you could use French Bread, any kind of French baguette, homemade bread, or any other bread thats shaped into a loaf.
- Toppings: Use any of your favorite toppings! Other topping options are cooked sausage, ham, turkey pepperoni, olives, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, ham, pineapple or veggies.
- Vegetarian pizza: Remove the pepperoni and replace it with fresh veggies like eggplant, tomatoes, bell peppers, spinach, olives, pesto and caramelized onions. Use your favorite vegetables!
- Cheese variations: Other cheese options are white cheddar cheese, havarti or pepper jack to make the pizza spicy!
- Gluten-free pizza: Keep this pizza gluten-free by using gluten-free bread.
- Pizza toasts: Instead of using a loaf of bread, use sliced sourdough bread to make the sourdough pizza crust.
leftovers & storage
To-Store: Pizza is always delicious the next day! Place cooled pizza bread in a ziplock bag or airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Eat leftovers cold or reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for a few minutes until warmed.
To-Freeze: If you want to make this pizza bread and freeze it for another time, you can! You can either freeze a whole baked pizza or freeze it unbaked. To freeze a baked pizza, cool completely then wrap it in plastic wrap and then in foil.
To freeze an unbaked pizza: Be sure to place parchment paper on the bottom of a pizza dish and flash freeze it for at least 30 minutes or until hardened. Once it’s frozen, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, then in foil.
