Pizza Bread Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Italian bread
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 16 slices pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pizza bread.
  2. Slice the Bread: Cut the Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two flat pieces perfect for topping.
  3. Assemble the Pizza Bread: Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each bread half. Then, sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top. Add a teaspoon of Italian seasoning evenly across the cheese. Arrange the pepperoni slices and sliced black olives over the cheese layers.
  4. Bake: Place the assembled bread halves on a sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve Hot: Remove from the oven and cut into slices or pieces to serve immediately while warm and delicious.

Notes

  • Use fresh Italian bread for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute pepperoni with other toppings like cooked sausage or vegetables.
  • For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes along with Italian seasoning.
  • If you prefer, broil the pizza bread for the last 1-2 minutes to get a golden brown cheese topping, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Leftover pizza bread can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for best results.
