Pepperoni and Banana Pepper Bread

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the pizza dough from the freezer and place on a lightly floured work surface to thaw if not already done.

Roll out the thawed pizza dough into a rectangular shape approximately ¼ inch thick, using flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Chop the pepperoni into bite-sized pieces and drain the banana peppers, slicing them if they are whole.

Sprinkle ¾ cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Distribute the chopped pepperoni and sliced banana peppers evenly over the cheese layer.

Top with the remaining ¾ cup of mozzarella cheese to cover the pepperoni and banana peppers.

Roll up the dough tightly from one long end to create a log, then transfer seam-side down to a greased baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated 400°F oven for 25–30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing and serving.
