Garbage Bread is a fun, customizable stuffed bread—basically a rolled loaf packed with whatever leftovers or favorite fillings you’ve got. It’s popular for game days and easy dinners.
What it usually includes
You can mix and match, but common fillings are:
- Cooked meats (pepperoni, sausage, bacon, chicken)
- Cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, provolone)
- Veggies (onions, peppers, mushrooms, olives)
- Sauce (pizza sauce, marinara, ranch, or BBQ)
Easy Garbage Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)
- 1–1½ cups mixed fillings (cooked)
- 1–1½ cups shredded cheese
- ½ cup sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Garlic powder & Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C.
- Roll pizza dough into a rectangle on parchment paper.
- Spread sauce lightly (leave a border).
- Add fillings evenly, then top with cheese.
- Roll up tightly (like a jelly roll) and pinch seams closed.
- Place seam-side down, brush with olive oil, sprinkle seasoning.
- Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool 5 minutes, slice, and serve.
Tips
- Don’t overfill or it may burst.
- Great for using leftovers.
- Serve with extra sauce for dipping.
If you want, I can suggest pizza-style, breakfast garbage bread, or a vegetarian version.
