How to Make Cheesy Pepperoni Stuffed Bread
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle that is about ½ inch thick.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer the sliced pepperoni on top of the cheese, distributing it evenly.
- Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the filling for added flavor.
- Carefully roll the dough starting from one long side, rolling it tightly to form a log shape.
- Pinch the ends to seal the log, then place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the top of the stuffed bread with olive oil to promote a golden color while baking.
- Using a sharp knife, make a few diagonal slits on top of the bread to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- For an extra cheesy filling, consider adding a blend of cheeses such as mozzarella or provolone.
- Ensure that the dough is rolled evenly to avoid uneven cooking.
- Let the bread rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set slightly for easier slicing.
Easy Variations
- Swap out pepperoni for cooked sausage or diced ham for a different flavor.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for a veggie twist.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for a unique taste.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh garden salad for a light contrast
- Potato chips or nachos for extra crunch
- A side of marinara or ranch dressing for dipping
- Sliced veggies for a refreshing bite
