Preparation

Step 1

Preheat Oven 375. Prepare cookie sheet with pam. Remove pizza dough from can and place on cookie sheet.. unroll and spread out evenly


Layer pepperoni down the center.. the more the better! Just keep in mind that you want to be able to close it all up before baking!

Now add 3 to 4 tbsp. of the pizza sauce, then the mozeralla and other cheeses… to your taste… Sprinkle with italian seasoning.

Using the pastry cutter or sheers slice approx. 2″ slits along the edges of the dough, spaced about and inch or two apart on both sides…

Next “braid” the strips by criss-crossing them alternately over the layers

Simply fold in the edges and press to seal…

Brush the top with the eggwash (one egg white mixed with a little water) and sprinkle with a little garlic powder and shredded parmesan…


Bake in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes or until bread it golden brown and cheese is melted…
