Ingredients

  • 1 round sourdough or Italian loaf un-sliced
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup sliced pepperoni cut into quarters
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or italian blend shredded cheese
  • ½ cup marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • First, preheat the oven to 350ºF, and cover a baking sheet with tin foil. Make sure to use enough tin foil to be able to wrap your loaf completely.
  • In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder and italian seasoning.
  • Slice loaf diagonally in both directions into 1-inch sections, creating diamond shapes. Make sure to not cut all the way through the bread, rather leave the bottom crust of the bread unsliced.

  • Let cool for 5 minutes before tearing pieces off loaf and dipping into warm marinara sauce. Enjoy!
