Filling & Sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
1
Making the dough ready for filling is simple thanks to the refrigerated pizza dough. Here’s how I prepare it:
-
2
I start by unwrapping the pizza dough and placing it on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, I gently roll it into a rectangle about 12x8 inches. This gives me enough space to layer in the cheese and pepperoni without stretching the dough too thin.

3
Shaping is key to getting that soft, stuffed bread we all love.
-
4
Rolling the Dough: I carefully roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, forming a neat log.
-
5
Sealing the Edges: I pinch the seam and ends to seal in all that cheesy goodness. This prevents leaks while baking.
-
6
Placing on Baking Sheet: I place the roll seam-side down on the lined baking sheet, giving it a slight curve if needed so it bakes evenly.
-
7
Baking is straightforward but important for that perfect crust and melty interior:
-
8
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
9
Bake the prepared pepperoni bread for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly.
-
10
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep all the filling inside.
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
For longer storage, wrap the baked bread tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, then freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature and reheat in the oven for that same freshly baked taste.
