Method

  1. 1

    Thaw the pizza doughs according to the package instructions. Roll out the dough balls on a floured work surface into round pizzas (Ø 28 cm).

  2. 2

    Mix the tomato puree and red pesto together.

  3. 3

    Divide the toppings evenly over both bases: first the sauce, then the cheese, and finally the pepperoni.

  4. 4

    Roll both pizzas tightly. Cut the rolls lengthwise in half with scissors, leaving the halves still attached at one end. Turn the halves cut-side up and gently "braid" them by lifting the halves over each other into a simple braid. Place the braids on top of each other into a rectangular loaf pan (1.5 l) lined with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Mix the melted butter, garlic, and oregano together.

  6. 6

    Brush the pizza twist loaf with the oregano butter and bake on the bottom rack of a 200-degree oven for about 25 minutes.
