Description
Garbage Bread is a cheesy, stuffed loaf filled with ham, corn, herbs, and more—all wrapped in golden dough. Perfect for parties or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced ham or cooked bacon
- 1/2 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (plus more for garnish)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: extra Parmesan or garlic powder for topping
Instructions
- Let pizza dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll dough into a 10×14 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
- In a bowl, mix mozzarella, ham, corn, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, parsley, and pepper.
- Spread filling evenly on dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Roll dough into a log, starting from the long edge. Pinch seams and tuck ends underneath.
- Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan or garlic powder if desired.
- Cut small slits on top for steam to escape.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Cool for 5–10 minutes, garnish with parsley, and slice to serve.
Notes
- Use any cheese or meat—pepperoni, sausage, or turkey work well.
- Saute veggies like mushrooms or spinach before adding to prevent sogginess.
- Try different themes: pizza, buffalo chicken, or veggie-loaded versions.
- Make ahead and refrigerate unbaked loaf for up to 12 hours.
- Freeze baked slices and reheat for a quick snack or lunch.
