Pepperoni Pizza Loaf
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min.
YIELD: 12 pieces.
This savory stromboli starts with frozen bread dough, so it comes together in practically no time. The golden loaf is stuffed with cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers and olives. I often add a few slices of ham too. It's tasty served with warm pizza sauce for dipping. —Jenny Brown, West Lafayette, Indiana
