Cheesy Pepperoni Loaf (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 hoagie rolls, large size.
02 - 1 teaspoon garlic salt.
03 - 1 teaspoon Italian herb mix.
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil.
05 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional).
06 - 1/2 cup Parmesan, grated.
07 - 2 cups mozzarella, shredded.
08 - 1/2 cup pepperoni slices.
09 - Pizza or marinara sauce for dipping.

# Instructions:

01 - Start by setting your oven to 350°F to warm up.
02 - Cut the hoagie rolls into sections about 2 inches wide, but don’t slice all the way through so they stay connected at the base.
03 - Combine olive oil, Italian herbs, garlic salt, and crushed red pepper (if using) in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over the bread, letting it soak into the cuts.
04 - Sprinkle mozzarella cheese all over, add pepperoni slices, and finish with a layer of Parmesan cheese.
05 - Pop the loaf in the oven and bake it for 15-18 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the bread has crisp edges.
06 - Serve right away with a side of marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - This cheesy pepperoni bread is an easy-to-prepare crowd-pleaser. Packed with gooey cheese and crispy pepperoni, it tastes amazing dunked in marinara.
02 - Perfect for parties, game nights, or even as a snack the whole family can enjoy.
03 - Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days, and reheat in the oven to keep the bread crispy.
