Ingredients
1

store-bought or homemade
1
cup
sliced pepperoni
1½
cups
shredded mozzarella cheese
½
cup
sliced ham or salami
¼
cup
diced bell peppers
¼
cup
sliced black olives
optional
1
teaspoon
Italian seasoning
½
teaspoon
garlic powder
2
tablespoons
butter

1
cup
marinara sauce
for dipping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches, making it as even as possible.
Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around all edges for sealing.
Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese, followed by the ham or salami, diced bell peppers, and black olives if using.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder evenly over all the fillings to enhance the flavor.
Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log, similar to rolling a cinnamon roll, keeping the fillings tucked inside.
Pinch the seam and both ends closed firmly to prevent any cheese or fillings from leaking during baking.
Place the rolled garbage bread seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top and sides generously with melted butter for a golden, crispy finish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into thick pieces.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months. Customize fillings based on preference.
