Pizza Bread

I used to make this all of the time when I was in my 20s, taking it to all sorts of gatherings. It always went over very well, and people always requested the recipe. This can be made from Pillsbury canned pizza crust or a loaf of Rhodes frozen pizza dough that has been thawed.
                       

There are no real measurements to this recipe. You just use as much of each as you desire, as though you are making a pizza.

Ingredients:
2 cans Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust
Italian tomatoes, drained and chopped or you may use Ragu pizza sauce, instead
Italian seasoning
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Parmesan Cheese, grated
Pepperoni slices
Italian sausage, browned and drained

Roll out one can of the refrigerated pizza dough and place on a large jelly roll pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of tomatoes over the crust. (You may use pizza sauce instead, if desired.) Sprinkle on Italian seasoning. Layer on the mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Layer with pepperoni and/or browned sausage.

Roll out another can of the pizza dough and place on top of the other. On top of that, spread with a generous amount of tomatoes or pizza sauce, cheeses and pepperoni and/or sausage.

Bake 350 degrees until cheese has melted and the bottom crust has browned on the bottom. Cut into squares.

Alternate crust 
If you wish to use the Rhodes frozen pizza dough, thaw out and then allow the 1-2 loaves of dough to rise until doubled. Top the dough as directed above with the pizza ingredients. You may either roll the dough up jelly-roll fashion or top with with another loaf of dough that has been rolled out. If using two loaves of Rhodes dough, top with tomatoes or pizza sauce, cheeses and meats as directed above.

Allow dough to rise a second time, and bake as directed above. You may need to increase the oven temperature to ensure the bottom dough has baked through.

When done baking, cut into squares. Serve warm, but this is even good served cold.
