Garbage Bread

Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Preheat oven – Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  1. Roll out dough – On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 12×15 inches).

  2. Add fillings – Spread marinara sauce across the dough, leaving 1 inch around the edges. Layer on cooked beef, pepperoni, veggies, and cheeses. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

  3. Roll & seal – Starting from the long side, roll dough into a log, pinching edges to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

  4. Egg wash & bake – Brush top with beaten egg for a golden crust. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until deep golden brown.

  5. Cool & slice – Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thick rounds. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • Make it meaty: Use leftover chicken, steak, or bacon.

  • Veggie-packed: Add spinach, mushrooms, or roasted peppers.

  • Cheese lovers: Mix in cream cheese or swap for provolone.

  • Breakfast garbage bread: Fill with scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheddar.

  • Freezer-friendly: Assemble, wrap tightly, and freeze unbaked. Bake straight from frozen, adding 10 extra minutes.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Garbage Bread isn’t just for dinner—it’s a party-perfect appetizer or game day snack. Slice it into pinwheels for easy sharing, or serve whole with a big salad for a hearty family meal.
