A big 5 stars for this. Whole family loved it, we served it with spaghetti sauce on the side for dipping, excellent. I didn't grease my pan, but next time I will, had some trouble getting it out of pan, but could be because everyone was standing over it, as soon as it came out of the oven, and we just had to eat it right away, didn't even let it cool down!

I made this for a potluck and work and there was nothing left but crumbs on a plate! I used 4 cans of bread dough from the biscuit section and premade garlic butter. I also buttered the pan with garlic butter and a bit of parmesean and sprinkled each layer with parmesean cheese. It was really good and several people raved about it and wanted the recipe. The only drawback was the time it took to assemble but nowing that ahead of time, wasn't a big deal. Thanks for sharing!

I agree this is a great tasting recipe, I disagree with the easy making part. This is really time consuming. It probably took us more like 30 minutes to assemble this. BUT well worth the time to make! We used pre-sliced pepperoni and dipped each assembled piece into garlic butter and sprinkled lots of parmesan cheese over the whole thing. Yummy! thank you for sharing!
