Pepperoni Pizza Braid



Pepperoni Pizza Braid

can Pillsbury™ refrigerated classic pizza crust
1/2 
cup pizza sauce
cups shredded mozzarella and/or cheddar cheese, divided
2/3 
cup pepperoni slices, divided, plus more for topping

DIRECTIONS

  • Heat oven to 425°F (400°F for a dark or nonstick baking sheet). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Unroll pizza crust and press into a 10-by-13-inch rectangle on prepared baking sheet. Use kitchen scissors or a knife to cut 8 equal strips along each of the two longer edges, leaving a 3-inch space down the center of the dough rectangle.
  • Spoon pizza sauce along the center of the pizza dough, then sprinkle with 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Top with 1/3 cup of pepperoni slices, then sprinkle with another 3/4 cup shredded cheese and remaining 1/3 cup pepperonis.
  • Starting from one end, fold strips of dough over the filling to the center, so the ends overlap and it looks braided. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese and a few more slices of pepperoni.
  • Bake 20 minutes until crust is golden brown and baked through and cheese is melted and bubbly
