Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 lb Pizza Dough Provides structure and chewy texture; substitute with store-bought dough or homemade bread dough.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce Adds moisture and rich flavor; try pesto or white sauce for a delightful variation.
For the Cheeses
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Contributes creaminess and stretchiness; use provolone or a dairy-free option for lactose-free needs.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Enhances flavor with a sharp note; Gouda or smoked cheese can give it a different taste profile.
For the Meats
  • 1 cup Pepperoni Offers a zesty, meaty flavor; swap it with salami, turkey pepperoni, or plant-based alternatives.
  • 1 cup Sausage Adds heartiness and spiciness; consider cooked vegetables or meatless alternatives for a vegetarian option.
For the Vegetables
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper Contributes sweetness and crunch; mushrooms or spinach are tasty substitutes.
  • 1 medium Onion Adds depth of flavor; shallots or green onions can provide a milder taste.
  • 1/2 cup Olives Provide a briny flavor contrast; omit if you're not a fan, or try artichokes for a twist.
For the Topping
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Assists in browning and adds richness; melted butter is another great option for extra flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning Enhances overall flavor; replace with oregano, basil, or a mix of dried herbs.

Baking Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Roll Out the Dough - Roll out your pizza dough into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
  3. Step 3: Spread the Sauce - Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Add the Cheesy Fillings - Layer your chosen ingredients over the sauce and customize with your favorite mix-ins.
  5. Step 5: Roll the Dough - Beginning at one long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly to form a log shape and pinch the seams.
  6. Step 6: Prepare for Baking - Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning over the surface.
  7. Step 7: Bake to Perfection - Bake your Cheesy Garbage Bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Serve - Let it rest for about 5 minutes, cut into rounds or slices, and serve warm.
