Garbage Bread Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup cooked sausage crumbles
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a large rectangle to prepare for layering the fillings.
  3. Add Sauce and Fillings: Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Then top with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, pepperoni slices, cooked sausage crumbles, diced green bell pepper, diced onion, and sliced black olives.
  4. Roll Up Dough: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seam and ends securely to seal all the fillings inside. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush and Season: Brush the top of the rolled bread with olive oil for a golden finish and sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning for enhanced flavor.
  6. Bake: Bake the Garbage Bread in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until it turns golden brown and is fully cooked through. Once done, let it rest for 5 minutes to set before slicing.
  7. Slice and Serve: Slice the bread into rounds and serve warm with extra marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the gooey, cheesy, and meaty flavors!

Notes

  • Ensure the dough seam and edges are tightly sealed to prevent filling leakage while baking.
  • Feel free to customize the fillings with your favorite vegetables or deli meats.
  • Letting the bread rest after baking helps retain its shape and makes slicing easier.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to avoid the bread sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Serve with additional dipping sauces like ranch, garlic butter, or marinara for extra flavor.
