Meatball Pizza Bread

Homemade meatballs, spinach, and lots of mozzarella cheese wrapped up in a ready-made pizza dough and baked to crispy golden deliciousness! Meatball Pizza Bread is an easy-to-make recipe everyone will love!

This Meatball Pizza Bread recipe is a twist on a Pepperoni Bread recipe I saw online. I was looking for something to use up my leftover Easy Meatballs and Slow Cooker Red Sauce when this idea hit me. I like to take leftovers and make them unrecognizable in a good way :), and this recipe definitely made good use of my leftovers. I also added spinach to this kid-friendly recipe to sneak in those healthy greens. The kids will never know it’s in there!

To make this deliciousness, roll the pizza dough into a rectangle about 10″x 18″ and brush all over with beaten egg. I use fresh pizza dough I pick up at my grocery store. If your store doesn’t offer it, I recommend using frozen bread dough (thawed) such as Bridgford Ready-Dough.

Top the dough with sliced meatballs, fresh spinach, cheese, and Italian seasoning…

Roll it up jelly-roll style and pinch seams to seal…

Place onto a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet and brush with a beaten egg…

Bake until golden and serve with Slow Cooker Red Sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

I use this homemade meatball recipe to make this meatball bread. I usually make a big batch and then freeze the extras for later. You can absolutely use your favorite brand of frozen (and thawed) meatballs or your own homemade recipe if you prefer.
