Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 loaf Pizza dough or crescent roll dough Alternatively, use puff pastry for a different texture.
1 cup Cheese Use mozzarella for best results; other cheeses can be added.
1 cup Fillings Choose from various options such as vegetables, meats, or sweet ingredients.
1 each Egg (for egg wash) Optional for a shiny crust.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the dough evenly on a floured surface.
Spread cheese and fillings evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
Roll the dough tightly, pinching the seams to seal.
Place the loaf seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish if desired.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Check for doneness by tapping the top and looking for a hollow sound.
Let the bread rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Experiment with different fillings such as scrambled eggs for breakfast, Nutella for dessert, or spiced beef for a Mexican-style twist. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and even cooking.
