Twisted Tavern Loaf - Fantasy Inspired Pizza Dough Recipe
Equipment
- Large baking sheet
- large bowl
- wooden spoon for mixing
- plastic wrap
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 5 cups all purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp active dry yeast
- 2.25 cups cold water
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- olive oil
Topping
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Pour the flour into a large bowl with the yeast, salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and cold water and combine with a wooden spoon.
- Sprinkle flour on your work surface, we used a large cutting board, and pour the dough onto it. Sprinkle some more flour on top and hand knead for about 15 minutes until a smooth ball forms and it's still a little sticky. If it stays too sticky add a little flour, if too dry then more water.
- Drizzle some olive oil on top, then cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 2 hours. Then cut the dough ball into two halves and let those rise, covered, for another 30 minutes.
- At this point you can use this dough for pizza but the rest of the recipe will be for making a dough braid loaf instead.
- Preheat your oven or cooking hearth to 450°F (230°C).
- Dust some more flour on your work surface then roll out each dough ball into a log, about a foot long. Set the two logs next to each other then twist them together to form a braid, squishing the ends together to form one combined twisted braid loaf.
- Drizzle more olive oil on the loaf, then top with a dusting of the Topping Spices.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper then place the braid on it. Bake for 25 minutes. You can verify the bread is done by inserting a digital read thermometer into the center and getting a reading of at least 190°F (90 °C).
- Remove the bread from the oven then let sit for at least 5 minutes before tearing off chunks to eat!

I do have to say, 450 was waaaaay too high of a temperature. I recommend baking at 425 for 15 minutes.
