Pizza Bread

Here is one of our household favorites - and a bonus is that it is a SUPER easy recipe!

Start out with this bread dough found in the freezer section:

Let one loaf defrost on a greased cookie sheet - also spray the plastic wrap so it doesn't stick later
It needs to double in size -so take it out first thing in the morning *but if you're like me and forget, I put my oven on the lowest setting 135 degrees and leave it in there for a couple of hours until it looks like this:

Sprinkle some flour onto the dough and onto a rolling pin and spread it out.
Take 1 cup of mozzarella and sprinkle it down the middle of the dough. Then take 1/2 bag of pepperoni (I use turkey pepperoni since it is 70% less fat - you can't tell the difference once it is all cooked together) and put it on top of the mozzarella. Finish by topping the pepperoni with the remainder of the cheese (1 cup). Fold the short ends towards the center and then stretch the long sides to meet in the middle (sort of like a burrito). Pinch together and flip the whole thing over so that the seam side is on the cookie sheet. Brush the top with a beaten egg (to help with browning) and sprinkle on some Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese (both optional).
Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until it looks like this:

Slice and Eat! You can also use this as an appetizer if you just slice it smaller... yum!
