what we ate: blooming pizza bread

Yum!

We found this recipe at The Girl Who Ate Everything. There are TONS of awesome recipes on this blog, so I suggest checking it out.

Ingredients:

1 unsliced round loaf sourdough bread

12-16 ounces mozzarella or Provolone cheese, thinly sliced (we used shreds)

1 (3.5 ounce) package pepperoni, halved (we also used bacon bits)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings

2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese

pizza/marinara sauce for dipping

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the bread lengthwise and widthwise without cutting through the bottom crust.

Place bread on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle cheese shreds and meat bits into the cuts . Combine butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasonings. Drizzle over bread.

Wrap bread completely in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Unwrap the bread and bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted and meat is a little crispy.
