Ingredients:

• 2 loaves (1 lb each) frozen bread dough, thawed
• 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 4 oz pepperoni
• 2 cups (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Preparation: Punch down dough. On lightly floured surface, roll each loaf into 20″ x 8″ rectangle. Place one rectangle on greased baking sheet. Spread spaghetti sauce in an 18′ x 4″ stripe down center. Sprinkle with oregano, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese. Fold long sides of dough up toward filling and set aside.

Cut remaining rectangle into three strips. Loosely braid strips and place on top of prepared base (other rectangle). Pinch ends to seal. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
