BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — This week on Simply Sweet Allison we are making a pizza braid, which is the perfect game day dish for the big game this weekend. You can fill the pizza braid with your favorite pizza toppings.
We also have a dessert option with Nutella and bananas. This is easy to make and only has a few ingredients. Your friends and family are going to love it!
Ingredients:
Pizza braid-
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 12 pepperoni slices
- 1 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp. dried oregano
Dessert braid-
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 banana, sliced
- 3 tbsp. butter, melted
- powdered sugar
Method:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Lay out puff pastry sheet. Pour pizza sauce into the center section of the puff pastry, leaving about an inch at the top and bottom.
- Sprinkle on the cheese in an even layer. Then top with the pepperoni slices.
- For the dessert brain, spread out the Nutella and top with the banana slices.
- Next, cut 1-inch slices, on a diagonal, to the left and right of the filling. Cut off the corners, leaving about an inch margin on then ends to fold.
- Fold down the top margin and begin to fold the left strip, and then the right strip, alternating, until you reach the bottom.
- Top with the mixture of melted butter, Parmesan and dried oregano.
- Bake for 20 minutes and serve immediately.
Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping and top the dessert braid with powdered sugar!
