Description
Garbage Bread is a cheesy, savory stuffed loaf loaded with meats, veggies, and melty cheese, all wrapped in golden pizza dough for the ultimate comfort food experience.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 lb cooked sausage or ground beef
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
- Optional: marinara or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook sausage or ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Add bell peppers and onions; cook until softened. Stir in Italian seasoning. Let cool slightly.
- Roll pizza dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread filling over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with pepperoni, mozzarella, and cheddar.
- Roll up dough jelly-roll style from the long edge, pinching the seam and tucking ends underneath. Place seam-side down on prepared sheet.
- Brush loaf with olive oil or butter. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with marinara or ranch for dipping, and garnish with fresh herbs or crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
Notes
- Customize with any meat or veggie fillings, or go vegetarian with mushrooms and spinach.
- Pair with salad, roasted veggies, or soup for a full meal.
- Slice into small pieces for party snacks; serve with toothpicks or in wax paper wraps.
- Store leftovers wrapped in the fridge up to 4 days; reheat in oven for best results.
- Freeze wrapped unsliced loaf; thaw and reheat before serving.
- Use a baking stone or preheated sheet for a crisp bottom.
