Pizza Bread Meaty (Printable Version)

Cheesy baked bread crammed with beef and pepperoni, awesome for casual hangouts or sharing with friends.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
02 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted
03 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 2 ounces thin-sliced pepperoni (about 1/3 cup)
05 - 4 slices provolone cheese
06 - 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
07 - 1 jar pizza sauce, divided
08 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
11 - 1/2 pound lean ground beef

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Warm up the leftover pizza sauce and put it on the side for dunking your pizza bread.
02 - Slide your pizza bread into the hot oven and let it get golden and crisp for around 20 to 25 minutes.
03 - Paint the top of the dough with that melted butter, then sprinkle on the Parmesan and the last bit of oregano.
04 - Use a sharp knife to slice the dough into strips on both sides. Fold those over the center, taking turns from side to side, so it wraps up the filling.
05 - Down the middle of the dough, slather about half a cup of pizza sauce. Lay on the provolone slices, then scatter the pepperoni, spoon on the beef mix, and finally top it off with mozzarella.
06 - Roll that pizza dough out flat on a baking sheet with low sides.
07 - After the beef has cooled off a little, stir in a third of a cup of pizza sauce.
08 - Throw the beef, oregano, garlic powder, and salt into a big non-stick pan. Cook it on medium, breaking it up until it's brown and no pink is left. Pour off any grease.
09 - Get the oven heating up to 400°F, which is about 205°C.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Tastes best eaten warm and dipped in extra pizza sauce.
