This recipe started out as ham and cheese pockets found over at Money Saving Mom, which I have made for my family several times.

One day, however, during a week when I was trying to put off going to the grocery store as long as possiblethe ham and cheese filling was replaced with pepperoni, seasoned hamburger, and cheese that we had on hand.

The new combination was a big hit and soon I was making half the batch with ham and cheese and half with pepperoni and seasoned hamburger.

A lazy afternoon arrived and I just didn’t feel like rolling out 20 pizza pockets (we have 2 bread machines a normal batch makes 10) and a idea was born out of pure laziness.  I decided to swap the “pocket” for “bread”.

I made 2 long loaves out of each batch of dough and filled them with the toppings. My family loved them. 2 long loaves feed all five of us for dinner when served with a veggie platter or fresh fruit.

I generally get both bread machines going at once so I can make up 2 batches and freeze one for a quick meal later in the month. If your family is not as big as mine (I basically feed 5 adults now) you might even have leftovers to freeze if you only have one bread machine.

A Few Tips For Making Bread Machine Stuffed Pizza Bread 

Divide the dough into 2 for pizza breadPlace all ingredients in your bread machine and then set to “dough” setting. When it is done then divide the dough into two even-sized balls, and set aside while you get all your ingredients for the stuffing out.

roll dough out for stuffed pizza breadRoll the dough out into a pocket that is longer than it is wide. When mine are rolled out they are about the size of a regular cookie sheet, so that when folded shut you could fit the 2 pockets side by side on one cookie sheet (although I cook mine on 2 sheets because I have the oven room).

preparing to close the stuffed pizza breadNext, go ahead and stuff the stuffed pizza bread with whatever topping you want. Pictured here is a mix of pizza sauce, pepperoni, seasoned hamburger, mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan which is a family favorite, but you can mix it up however you want it. Stuff pizza bread night is a great night to use up those little bits of this and that leftover in the fridge and freezer.

Here is a tip before you fold over your pocket wet all the edges with a bit of water using either your finger or a pastry brush. This will help seal the dough better decreasing the chances of the toppings oozing out of the bread pocket.

    Is this bread flour or white flour? I assume bread flour because it’s done in a bread machine, but it’s not clear from the directions.

      I use unbleached white flour which I believe is also known as bread flour.
