Step 3: Roll It Up
Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, similar to rolling cinnamon rolls or a jelly roll. Tuck in the ends to keep the filling from escaping.
Step 4: Add Flavor on Top
Transfer the rolled bread to your prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the top with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with extra Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or even grated Parmesan for a golden, flavorful crust.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the bread in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown and fully cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil for the last few minutes.
Step 6: Rest and Slice
Once baked, remove the Garbage Bread from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. This helps the filling set and makes slicing easier. Cut into thick slices and serve warm.
Serving Ideas
- Serve with extra marinara or ranch for dipping
- Pair with a fresh green salad for balance
- Slice smaller pieces for appetizers or party snacks
Final Thoughts
