Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1- pound round loaf King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread
  • 1 1/2 cup finely shredded Mozzarella Cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh Oregano chopped
  • 1 cup Pizza Sauce optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut bread diagonally into 1-inch slices to within 1 inch of the bottom, being certain not to cut all the way through. Repeat cuts in opposite direction until you have 1 inch cubes of bread, still connected together at the base of the loaf.
  • Distribute 1 cup of mozzarella cheese through the bread.. stuff it down in between each cube. Do the same with the pepperoni.
  • Mix together melted butter and oregano. Pour over the entire loaf of bread, evenly.
  • Wrap the loaf in tin foil and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the oven and unwrap from the tin foil. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the loaf. Place uncovered, under broiler in the oven on high for 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Serve as a pull apart bread with optional pizza sauce for dipping.
