Saturday Night Treats | Game Time with Bird's Zippy Pizza Bread!
We’re enjoying the weekend watching Basketball! Are you watching the NCAA Final Four games? Such fun! Even though we don’t have a “dog in the fight” It’s still enjoyable.
Bird Nest is empty, laundry is done and the nest is clean! After an early morning drive to the airport, cleaning all day we’re two hungry Birds! I thought I would surprise Mr. Bird with a little Pizza Bread!
I know you’re thinking that’s probably not the healthiest choice Mrs. Bird…
Got it covered my friends!
This Pizza bread is low in carbs and high in protein! So for those of you trying to find grain free pizza alternatives this will work! I’ll be adding a healthy Pesto sauce with it so….
Birds Zippy Pizza Bread
All I used…
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (2 ¼ cups)
- Almond Flour (1 1/4 cup
- Garlic Powder (1/4 tsp.)
- Rosemary (1/2 tsp.)
- Baking Powder (1tbsp.)
- Cream Cheese (4 tbsp.)
- Eggs (qty 2)
- Grated Parmesan Cheese (1/3 cup)
Optional Toppings: Pepperoni, Black Olives, Jalapenos, Birds Zippy Pesto
Luckily, Mozzarella and Cream Cheese…
were still available in the fridge. I didn’t have time to visit the market today so that definitely limited my dinner choices! Melt the cheeses in the microwave for about a minute, stir and then heat for an additional 15 seconds if needed. Stir in the almond flour, baking powder and the beaten eggs.
I sprinkled…
a little parmesan on my surface poured out the mixture and divided the dough into 32 pieces.
Parmesan and Rosemary...
were tossed together on a plate and after rolling the dough into balls, I rolled them in the Parmesan mixture. My spring form baking pan came in handy for this bread! You can use any baking dish! Get creative! Make sure you coat the baking dish well with olive oil! I placed half of the balls in the pan, topped with Pepperoni slices, Black Olives and a touch of Pesto. Sprinkle your favorite shredded cheese on top and repeat with a second layer.
Into the oven…
For 30 minutes at 350 degrees or until it is golden brown!
Perfect timing! Game Time! A little Pesto Sauce for Dipping and we’re set!
You still have time! Invite your friends or family. This is great with a side salad or it makes a wonderful appetizer. Your kids both big and small will love this! Have a great weekend my friends, thanks for stopping by!
And as always, blessings to you all!

That looks tasty. I want to try and make it next time I have those ingredients.
I hope you will! It is so easy to make...quicker than take out pizza and healthy!!
I love homemade pizza, yours look delicious! I especially love black olives, not many people I know love them, I find it strange... lol
You know, this is so much better than take out pizza. Personally knowing what is going into my pizza is comforting! As for the black olives..well we love them!! Great in salads too!
Totally agree, we control what goes into our stomach!
I love the creative ideas you come up for healthier dishes
I myself am not watching the basketball, Rugby is more my sport
Well, no worries, enjoy it with rugby! lol I'm just trying to spread the healthy treats around! :) Thanks @tattodjay! Enjoy your week!
Hey, that's a great way to make pizza using the tube pan. Never thought of it before.
I thought I would try a different option this time, worked out well, easy to add the pesto in the center! Thanks so much!
Those dishes look really good!
so glad you loved it! Thanks!!
