Ingredients
  

1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini), chopped

1 cup leftover cooked meat (chicken, sausage, or pepperoni), diced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup ricotta cheese

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for brushing

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed vegetables, leftover cooked meat, shredded mozzarella, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well distributed.

        Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

          Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long side, pinching the edges to seal the filling inside.

            Place the rolled bread seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

              Brush the top of the bread with olive oil and make a few diagonal slashes to allow steam to escape during baking.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

                  Remove the garbage bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.

                    Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

                        - Presentation Tips: Cut the garbage bread into thick slices and serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Arrange on a wooden board, garnished with extra chopped parsley for a rustic look.
