Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 lb pizza dough

Filling

  • 1/2 lb ground beef, cooked
  • 1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 onion, diced and sautéed
  • Optional: peppers, mushrooms, additional cheeses

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the bread.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangular shape to make it easier to spread the fillings evenly.
  3. Add Sauce: Spread the marinara sauce over the rolled dough, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal the bread later.
  4. Layer Fillings: Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, sautéed diced onions, and shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauced dough. Add any optional fillings like peppers or mushrooms if desired.
  5. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, encasing all the fillings. Pinch and seal the edges securely to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to avoid the fillings spilling out and to enjoy warm gooey bites.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding peppers, mushrooms, or different cheeses to suit your taste.
  • Make sure to seal the dough edges well to prevent leaks during baking.
  • Allow the bread to cool briefly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for best texture.
