Garbage Bread is a stuffed, rolled bread filled with a savory mix of meats, cheeses, and veggies. It’s like a customizable stromboli that turns leftovers into a cheesy, golden, shareable meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough or crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 lb ground beef or sausage, browned
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 slices provolone or cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers or banana peppers, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Optional Dipping Sauces:

  • Marinara
  • Ranch
  • Garlic butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
  3. In a skillet, cook ground beef or sausage with onions and peppers (if using). Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Drain excess grease.
  4. Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Top with pepperoni slices and cheeses.
  6. Carefully roll the dough from the long side into a log. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.
  7. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil or melted butter.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the dough to prevent leaking.
  • Drain cooked ingredients well to avoid soggy bread.
  • Let rest before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Use any combination of meats, cheeses, and veggies you like.
  • Best reheated in the oven for crispy texture.
