Ingredients

1 stick butter, melted
1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning (in the spice aisle)
1 loaf crusty bread, like Italian or sourdough
2 cups shredded mozzarella
2 cups pepperoni slices
Marinara or pizza sauce, for dipping

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, mix together butter and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
2. Step 2Slice top of bread long-ways and then cross-ways, being careful not to cut loaf all the way through. Gently open cuts of loaf.
3. Step 3Pour butter mixture all over bread, making sure mixture makes it into crevices. Then cover bread with cheese and pepperoni, pushing both deep into cuts, as well.
4. Step 4Move loaf to sheet pan, and bake for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
