Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough and Filling:
- 1 loaf of refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade dough)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cooked pepperoni, chopped
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for some heat)
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the bread.
- Roll Out Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 10×14 inches in size.
- Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, cooked sausage, pepperoni, bacon, diced green bell pepper, red onion, sliced black olives, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well.
- Assemble Bread: Spread the mixed filling evenly along the center of the dough, leaving roughly one inch of space on each side.
- Shape Loaf: Fold the sides of the dough over the filling to create a loaf shape and pinch the edges tightly to seal the bread.
- Apply Topping: Brush the outside of the loaf with melted butter and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the loaf seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese filling is melted and bubbly.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes to set.
- Serve: Slice the bread and serve warm to enjoy the melty cheesy and savory filling.
Notes
- You can substitute the meats with your favorite sausage or omit for a vegetarian version.
- Adding red pepper flakes is optional for a little spice kick.
- Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to avoid the cheese spilling out.
