Equipment
- 10-Inch Bundt Pan
- Mixing Bowls
- Dough Hook (optional)
Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 461 grams)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dried yeast (6 grams)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk (280 milliliters)
- 2 tablespoons butter cubed (28 grams)
- 2 cups pizza sauce (450 grams)
- 20 slices pepperoni chopped
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese grated (225 grams)
- fresh basil a handful, chopped
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Heat milk and butter gently until warm. Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring to combine.
- Knead the dough for 6 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1½ to 2 hours.
- Mix pizza sauce, chopped pepperoni, crushed garlic, grated mozzarella, and chopped basil in a bowl. Keep chilled until ready to use.
- Punch down the risen dough and cut it into small pieces. Toss the pieces in the pizza filling until well coated.
- Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan and fill it with the coated dough pieces. Cover and let rise again for about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a serving plate.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, pulling apart the soft, cheesy pieces.
