Louise's Easy Pizza Bread

Ingredients:

2 lbs of Pizza Dough (I use Hannaford's multi-grain dough, but the canned kind is okay too)
2 cups Mozzarella cheese, grated (or your favorite pizza cheese)
1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1/3 cup olive oil
1 – 8 oz package of pepperoni
1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon of fresh garlic or garlic powder
1 tablespoon chives (fresh or dried)
10 links of brown and serve breakfast sausage

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Brown ground beef with garlic and chives - drain & cool.
3. Cut pizza dough into bite sized pieces add oil and toss so that the oil is spread evenly on each piece of dough.
4. Cut the pepperoni and sausage into smaller pieces.
5. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
6. Transfer into a large greased bunt pan. (I usually have enough for a loaf pan also).  
7. Bake for about 30 minutes (or until the top is brown and the center is thoroughly cooked).
8. Be sure to check it in the middle before you pull it out. If the middle is still not cooked thoroughly - leave it in another 5 minutes at a time until it's done.
9. Flip over on to a plate while it's still hot.
10. Serve with a side of red sauce and enjoy!

Note: This is simple and works great for pot luck meals or small family get-togethers.
