Garbage Bread Recipe
Garbage Bread is a warm, rolled pizza loaf stuffed with sausage, pepperoni, veggies, and melty cheeses, baked to golden perfection. It’s the ultimate fridge-cleanout comfort food—simple, satisfying, and endlessly customizable.
Ingredients
- 1 package 16 oz pizza dough
- 2 cups chunky spaghetti sauce
- 1/4 lb cooked sausage crumbled
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper chopped and sautéed
- 1/4 cup red onion chopped and sautéed
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray your bread pan or casserole dish thoroughly with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Place the pizza dough on the floured area and stretch it into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches. Make sure it’s even in thickness to ensure uniform baking.
- Spread the chunky spaghetti sauce evenly over the entire dough, right up to the edges. This keeps each bite flavorful and moist.
- Distribute the crumbled cooked sausage, pepperoni slices, sautéed bell pepper, and red onion across the sauced dough. Scatter the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese evenly over the top. Reserve about 1/4 of both cheeses for the topping.
- Carefully roll the dough up, starting from the longer edge for a loaf-style roll. Tuck in the ends as you go to seal in the filling.
- Place the roll seam-side down in your prepared dish. Lightly mist the top with water or brush with egg wash. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese across the top.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 40–50 minutes. The bread should be golden brown, the cheese melted and bubbling, and the crust firm to the touch.
- Let the bread rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This keeps the fillings from oozing out and allows flavors to settle.
