Ingredients

• 1 package (16 oz) Pizza Dough
• ½ lb Cooked Sausage, crumbled
• ½ cup Pepperoni Slices
• ½ cup Bell Pepper, chopped
• ¼ cup Red Onion, chopped
• 1½ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper, to taste
• Marinara Sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions Cheesy Garbage Bread Delight

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, mix together the cooked sausage, pepperoni, bell pepper, red onion, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, olive oil, and a dash of salt and pepper.

3. Roll Out & Fill the Dough

• Roll the pizza dough out on a clean, lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
• Evenly spread the filling mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
• Starting from the long edge, roll the dough into a tight log, pinching the seam and ends to seal.

4. Bake

• Transfer the rolled bread to your prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
• Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted inside.

5. Slice & Serve

• Let the bread cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy every cheesy, savory bite!

Notes

• Customize it! Add mushrooms, olives, jalapeños, or any leftover roasted veggies you’ve got.
• Use store-bought or homemade pizza dough—both work beautifully.
• Brush the top with a little garlic butter before baking for extra flavor and shine.
• For crispier crust, bake directly on a preheated pizza stone if you have one!

Helpful Tips Cheesy Garbage Bread Delight

• Don’t overfill the dough or it may tear while rolling.
• If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent with foil halfway through baking.
• Want to make it ahead? Prep the roll, cover it tightly, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.

Conservation and Storage Cheesy Garbage Bread Delight

Let leftovers cool completely, then store slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes or in the air fryer for 4–5 minutes to keep that crispy edge!

Substitutions and Variations Cheesy Garbage Bread Delight

Veggie Version: Skip the meat and load it with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, zucchini, or caramelized onions.
Four-Cheese Delight: Add ricotta and provolone for a rich cheese explosion.
Spicy Kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes or spicy Italian sausage for heat.

Storage Instructions Cheesy Garbage Bread Delight

• Refrigerate leftovers tightly wrapped or in a sealed container.
• Reheat in oven or toaster oven to maintain texture. Avoid microwaving if possible—it softens the crust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use crescent dough instead of pizza dough?
Yes! Crescent roll dough gives a slightly flakier texture but works just as well.

Absolutely. Assemble, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Bake as directed when ready.

Can I make this vegetarian?
Of course! Just leave out the sausage and pepperoni, and fill with your favorite veggie and cheese combo.
