Easy Pizza Bread

By Aileen Cox Blundell

Among my most popular recipes ever are the baby led weaning pizza muffins. Well, during the pandemic my little guy Oscar and I had a bit more time on our hands than we knew what to do with. You may recall our fun and somewhat chaotic cook along we did each morning for a while… Anyway, what was meant to be our favourite pizza muffins became this beautiful healthy pizza bread.

Oscars little hands are a little bigger than they once were (mum sigh), so we decided to make this bake and slice pizza bread this time around. If you compare the two recipes, you’ll see that they are quite similar; however this recipes is adjusted to make full sized loaves instead of mini-muffins.

This healthy bread recipe is excellent for a healthy lunchbox idea and can still be cut into “fingers” (long stick shapes) for babies. What I love most about healthy pizza bread is that it is freezer friendly. I like to make several loaves of bread and freeze them so that I can serve warm slices of pizza bread with a nice bowl of Souper Hero soup.

If you’re looking to make this healthy bread recipe ahead and freeze it, you’ll want to make sure that you cool it completely. Once the bread has cooled completely, you can wrap in freezer paper or an airtight freezer bag for freezing. To defrost, take out of the freezer about 2-3 hours before intended use, then gently slice and heat in a toaster or pre-heated oven. You can freeze in individual slices, but you may loose a little of the breads moisture when defrosting.

I hope your family loves this healthy pizza bread recipe as much as mine!

Happy Baking!
