I had this recipe starred on my Google Reader and had just happened to buy the bread for it when we were at the store this weekend. When Rich called to invite us to appetizer night this weekend, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to try it out. It was a hit! It's kind of like Italian bread sticks with ooey gooey cheese, yum!
Ingredients
1 unsliced round loaf Italian bread
12-16 ounces Provolone cheese, thinly sliced1 (3.5 ounce) package pepperoni, halved
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese
pizza/marinara sauce for dipping
Ingredients
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the bread lengthwise and widthwise without cutting through the bottom crust. It's a little tricky on the ends, but you can fluff the bread right back.
Place bread on a foil-lined baking sheet and insert cheese slices and pepperoni between cuts. Combine butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasonings.
Drizzle or brush over bread with a pastry brush. Sprinkle bread with Parmesan cheese.
Wrap bread completely in foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Unwrap the bread and bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted and pepperoni is a little crispy. Serve with warmed pizza sauce and enjoy!
I've got to stay away from your blog, I'll never lose weight! lol! This looks SO good! Bookmarked! :)
