Recipe type: Bread
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 16 Ounce Loaf Italian Bread, Unsliced
  • ¼ Cup Butter, Softened (That's 4 Tablespoons)
  • ¼ Cup Finely Chopped Pepperoni
  • 3 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan
  • 1 Clove Garlic, Crushed
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Parsley or 1 Teaspoon Dried Parsley if Need Be
  • ½ Teaspoon Dried Whole Basil
  • ½ Teaspoon Dried Whole Oregano
Instructions
  1. Place rack in center slot and preheat oven to 350.
  2. Cut bread diagonally into 1-inch thick slices, cutting to, but not through, the bottom crust of bread loaf.
  3. Using a fork, combine butter and remaining ingredients in a bowl; spread between cut sides of bread.
  4. Wrap prepared loaf in foil. You want the foil to be loose and sort of make a small tent around it; seal foil loosely, if a little heat slips inside your tent, no problem -- but don't leave the foil fully open.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
