Description

A savory, stuffed bread loaf filled with meats, cheeses, and vegetables—baked to golden perfection for an all-in-one meal or hearty appetizer.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough or French bread dough
  • 1/2 lb ground beef or Italian sausage, cooked and drained
  • 1/2 cup diced pepperoni
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the cooked meat, pepperoni, cheeses, onions, peppers, olives, and seasonings.
  4. Spread the filling evenly down the center of the dough.
  5. Fold in the sides and roll up like a log, pinching edges to seal.
  6. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Serve with marinara or ranch for dipping.
  • Refrigerate leftovers and reheat in oven or toaster oven for best texture.
  • Great for parties, game days, or a quick family dinner.
