Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated pizza dough (usually in a tube or package)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce (use more if you prefer)
  • 30-40 slices pepperoni (to your preference)
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese (can use grated parmesan)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a large baking sheet (I used a half sheet size baking pan) with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Roll out 1 refrigerated pizza dough on the prepared baking sheet. If it isn't spreading easily, allow it to warm up to room temperature a bit. Cold dough is harder to spread.

  • Spread 1 cup pizza sauce in the center of the dough - leaving a few inches on the edges that are not covered. Then layer on 30-40 slices pepperoni, 1 pound Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled and 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle evenly with 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning.
  • Cut 1-inch thick strips all the way down each long side of dough from the edge of the filling to the outer edge of the dough to weave with.

  • “Braid” the bread by starting with the strips in each top corner, laying them over the filling and criss-crossing over each other. Continue braiding and tuck the last braid under when you get to the end.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted with 1 teaspoon garlic powder.

  • Brush the braided dough with melted butter, then bake on the middle rack for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy. Go by doneness, not just by time.

  • Cut diagonally then dig in!
