Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup of your preferred flavored dipping oil
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 2 (16-ounce) packages of pre-made pizza dough or homemade pizza dough
- 1 (7-ounce) package of sliced pepperoni
- 1 (8-ounce) package of shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Begin by separating the pizza dough into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, pour your favorite flavored dipping oil. Toss the dough pieces in the oil, ensuring they are lightly coated.
- Layer the dough pieces in the bottom of a bundt or fluted tube pan. Follow with a layer of sliced pepperoni, shredded mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Repeat these layers and finish with a final layer of dough pieces.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until the bread is golden brown and cooked through in the center, which typically takes around 30 to 40 minutes.
- Once done, remove the pan from the oven and carefully invert it onto a cutting board. The bread should come out in one piece.
- To serve, pull apart the bread into individual servings. You can offer optional marinara dipping sauce on the side.
