Meat Lovers Pizza Bread

Get ready to create your masterpiece! Here’s how you’ll prepare your Meat Lovers Pizza Bread:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with 1/4 tsp oregano, garlic powder, and kosher salt until browned. Don’t forget to drain the excess fat.
Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface, then transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough.
Layer the cooked ground beef, followed by the sliced pepperoni, crumbled bacon, and finish with shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Add the remaining 1/4 tsp oregano over the cheese for an extra flavor boost.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve!

To enjoy your Meat Lovers Pizza Bread to the fullest, consider these serving suggestions:

Pair it with a simple garden salad for a refreshing contrast.
Serve it with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
Add a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley on top for a burst of color and flavor.

If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), here’s how to keep them fresh:

Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: To freeze, wrap the slices tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag. It can last up to 2 months!
Reheat: Simply pop it back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed. A few minutes in the toaster oven also works wonders!
