Instructions
-
Preheat the oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Prepare the dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. -
Add the fillings
Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Top with cooked ground beef, bacon, sautéed onion, and shredded mozzarella (plus any optional fillings). -
Roll and seal
Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log, tucking in the sides as you go. Pinch the seams and ends to seal. -
Bake
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown. -
Cool and slice
Let the bread cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
-
Vegetarian option: Skip the meat and load up on veggies and cheese.
-
Crispier crust: Brush the outside with olive oil or melted butter before baking.
-
Flavor boost: Sprinkle garlic powder or Italian seasoning on the dough before rolling.
-
Dipping sauces: Ranch, extra marinara, or garlic butter are all great choices.
