- ½ red bell pepper chopped
- ½ green bell pepper chopped
- ½ yellow onion chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms chopped
- 1 cup cooked bacon chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Optional Alternatives:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even baking and crispiness.
- Prepare the dough: Roll the pizza dough out into a 12×18-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
- Cook the vegetables: In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the red and green bell peppers, yellow onion, and mushrooms until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the bread: Lay the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil. Evenly spread the sautéed vegetables over the dough, followed by the chopped bacon.
- Add the cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the vegetable and bacon mixture.
- Roll it up: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
- Bake the bread: Place the rolled dough seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice and serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing into pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
