A Note from Miss Kay■ Makes 8 servings
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon pizza seasoning or Italian herb blend
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cans (13.8 ounces each) refrigerated pizza dough (I use Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust)
8 ounces sliced pepperoni
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Italian blend or mozzarella cheese
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Warmed pizza sauce or marinara sauce, for serving
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, pizza seasoning, and garlic powder.
3. With kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch pieces. Add to the bowl and toss to coat.
4. Cut the pepperoni slices in half or quarters, depending on size. Add to the bowl with the dough. Add the Italian blend cheese and toss to mix well.
5. Transfer the dough into a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan or tube pan. Drizzle any oil left in the bowl over the top.
6. Bake until the bread is browned and cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then turn out onto a serving plate. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve warm with the sauce.
A Note from Miss Kay
You can buy fresh pizza dough in some grocery stores. If you prefer to use that instead of canned dough, you’ll need 11/2 pounds. Yummy!
