{Pizza Bread}

My friend, Melissa, showed me this recipe the other day.

I knew I had to make it tonight, because my friend Stephanie is coming over to play board games. 

That's board games. Contrary to our husbands' opinions, they are NOT bored games. We are fans.

They? Not so much.

Anyway, this is a modification of the recipe by The Girl Who Ate Everything's Blooming Pizza Bread.

I'll be making this, and chocolate fondue (shown below). Yes, Imma good friend ;)

Melissa, because she is evil, told me to double the butter and garlic.

I also added powdered Ranch Dressing Mix, and instead of Italian seasoning, I used dried Italian Dressing Mix.

For cheese, I used sliced Colby Jack & then also added shredded Mozzarella. 

Oh..my..sweet...Mother Mary.

You'll want to "dice" the bread without cutting the bottom crust, so it stays intact, but is easy to pull apart.

Mix the butter and seasonings in a bowl. Stick the slices of cheese (I cut mine in 1/2 first) & pepperoni between the cuts.

 Pour the butter mix over, evenly.

Wrap in foil and bake for 15 mins. Remove foil, and bake another 10.

Then... well...

Try not to drool, but dive in.

Nosh.

Yes, please.
