Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a loaf pan or baking sheet with parchment paper. - Roll Out the Dough:
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10×12 inch rectangle. - Add Toppings:
Spread pizza or marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, sliced pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Add any optional toppings like black olives, mushrooms, sausage, or bell peppers. - Roll Up the Dough:
Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough up into a log shape, tucking in the sides as you go. Pinch the seams to seal the bread. Place the seam-side down in the prepared pan or on the baking sheet. - Brush with Butter:
Brush the top of the pizza bread with the melted butter, then place it in the preheated oven. - Bake:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. - Add Cheese and Broil (Optional):
In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top of the bread.
Turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes for a crispier, golden-brown crust. - Slice and Serve:
Let the bread cool for a few minutes. Slice it into thick pieces and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with extra pizza or marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
