Pizza Bread

Chef Curt's Note:

This is one of my wife's family recipes. It's great for a Saturday afternoon with a few good friends and it's also quick and easy.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 1 loaf Italian bread, unsliced
• 1 lb sliced pepperoni
• 6 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato paste
• 6 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
• 6 ounces sliced provolone cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Split the Italian Loaf in half - longways.
3. Place both halves on a cookie sheet with foil over it for easy cleanup.
4. Spread 1 can of tomato paste on each half of bread.
5. Then place the pepperoni slices, and the onions, and peppers, and mushrooms. These can all be finely minced or coarsely chopped depending on personal preference. Minced does help to keep it all on the bread and spread easier though. I also like the texture of the minced pepperoni.
6. Finally top all the toppings with the sliced cheeses.
7. Place in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted - about 15 minutes.

This was a good and easy recipe. This was a quick afternoon snack for some last minute guests that stopped by. They love it and requested the recipe to take home. The next time I make this I would like to try it on pre-made garlic bread. This is a keeper in our house.
