Easy Cheesy Pepperoni Bread

On Saturday I made Pepperoni Bread....

And it was so good!

Have I mentioned this may be the easiest thing I have ever made?

Here's What You Need to Make the Pepperoni Bread:

• 1 Can Pillsbury Thin Pizza Crust
• 1 generous tsp Italian Seasoning Blend (more or less to taste)
• sliced pepperoni - I bought a 6oz package and used about half
• 1 to 2 cups shredded cheese - Italian blend, pizza blend (what I used), or plain mozzarella would be your best bets

Now Let's Make the Pepperoni Bread:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees 
2. Unroll your pizza dough onto a large rimmed baking sheet and use your fingers to shape it into an even rectangle (as long as you are using the thin pizza crust that I specified, you don't need to really stretch or roll it out - however if you are using regular canned pizza crust you will want to stretch it out)
3. Sprinkle the Italian Seasoning over the top of the dough
4. Place pepperoni slices in an even layer on top of dough and seasoning
5. Sprinkle cheese generously on top of the pepperoni (I like a lot of cheese - you should know that by now!)
   
6. Starting at the top (the long edge of the rectangle), carefully roll your dough into a log
7. Cut a few 1-2 inch slits in the top
   
8. Bake for 14 minutes, keeping an eye on it so it becomes pretty and golden but not burnt
   
    
9. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cutting board and slicing 

This was so good, and did I mention so easy!  John loved it and proceeded to tell me a few to the point where I lost count how good it was while his mouth was full!  Guess who else loved the pepperoni bread?  Yup, Lacie and Blakely! 

I think that this bread is the perfect (and easy) recipe to add to your holiday cooking repertoire!  It's the perfect appetizer for a holiday party or the perfect snack for a busy day!  It is something that you can throw together at the last minute!  The best thing is, you can buy these ingredients tomorrow and they all have such a nice long shelf life that they won't spoil until well after Christmas!  So buy the stuff now, and then make it when you need this recipe - and trust me you will need this recipe!
