Pizza and Pepperoni Braid
Sometimes we all need an easy recipe to make for dinner for our families. This Pizza and Pepperoni Braid is just that…EASY! And you can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Add a side salad and dinner is served.
One of the things I like most about this recipe is that you can customize it to your families favorite pizza toppings. My hubby loves chopped peppers and mushrooms, so I think the next time I make this I might make and extra one with his favorites.
Or why not use your favorite luncheon meats and make a stromboli. Ham and Swiss cheese would make a great combination. Or maybe salami and provolone cheese. The possibilities are endless.
This pizza and pepperoni braid recipe would work great for appetizers for football Sunday or if you’re having a large number of people over you can make a few different flavors. Either way your family is going to love this recipe and you’re going to love how easy it is to prepare.

This would last two seconds at our house. Nothing like a pizza filling wrapped up with delicious dough and cheese oozing out. I’m drooling looking at the photo. I’ve made several stuffed braids but not with this type of filling. I’ve waited too long.
Yes, it’s gone pretty quick in our house too when I make it. I suggest making two! Thanks for visiting.
Love cheese and everything in making this amazing Pizza Braid. I am drooling with the look of it.
I loooove this. I like making braids but I’ve only ever made sweet ones (surprise surprise lol!!). I think next time I’ll make a savoury one because pizza and pepperoni 🙂
I know or sure I would devour this. I could make a meal out of it…with a nice glass of wine. What a fun recipe. Perfect for entertaining too.
I like such dishes which take less time to prepare but a delicious taste.
