Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Sauce
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Meats
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage crumbles
Vegetables
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12 by 8 inches, creating enough space for the fillings.
- Add Toppings: Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly, then layer on the pepperoni slices, cooked sausage crumbles, diced green bell pepper, diced onion, and sliced black olives.
- Roll Dough: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seam and both ends tightly to seal, preventing any fillings from escaping during baking. Place the roll seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Season and Brush: Brush the top of the rolled dough with olive oil for a golden crust and sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly to enhance flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. The cheese inside will be melted and bubbly.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the Garbage Bread to rest for 5 minutes after baking for easier slicing. Cut into rounds and serve warm with extra marinara or your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy this cheesy, meaty delight!
Notes
- You can customize the fillings by adding mushrooms, jalapeños, or other favorite pizza toppings.
- Use a toothpick to secure the roll if you find it difficult to keep the seam sealed before baking.
- For a crispier crust, brush the bread with garlic butter after baking.
- This recipe is best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
