Materials

  • 1 lb Pizza Dough
  • ½ cup Sauce
  • 1 cup Cheese - Shredded or grated. You can use vegan or regular cheese or can omit.
  • Toppings - as desired
  • 2 tbs Olive Oil - or as needed for pan prep and brushing on the loaf.
  • Seasonings - as desired

my pizza babka was made with olives, basil, and seasonings

Instructions

  • Start by preparing a loaf pan for nonstick. Brushing the pan with olive oil works fine for me.
  • Lightly dust a clean flat work surface with flour. Then, carefully place, unroll, or unpackage your dough on the area.
    Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough out to a rectangle that is about 12 inches by 18 inches.
  • Next, brush or spoon your sauce over the dough to about a half inch of the edges of the dough. Evenly spread your remaining toppings, starting with the cheese (vegan if it can be baked), over the sauce.
  • To roll the babka up, starting from one of the longer sides (preferably closest to you), tightly roll the dough into a log. Then pinch the edges of the dough together.
    Before placing the assembled babka into the pan for baking, you will need to slice the roll in half.
    To create the babka twist, twist the two babka halves together keeping the cut side of each half exposed to reveal the layers of filling.
  • Transfer the twisted babka to your prepared loaf pan and brush it with olive oil.
    Cover the babka with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel to let it rise until it becomes puffy and almost double in size (30-45 minutes).
  • When you are ready to bake the pizza babka, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the babka in the center of your preheated oven and bake until golden brown, about 40 to 50 minutes .
  • Lastly, allow the pizza babka to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
