I love the added flavor the garlic butter Parmesan mixture gives the bread. It gives it a crispy crunch and adds so much flavor. I adore anything with garlic, in fact I usually double the garlic in every recipe.
You want to use a traditional marinara (pasta) sauce served as a dipping sauce. I just add the sauce to a small saucepan and heat it right before I take out the bread loaf from the oven. Dipping the pepperoni cheesy bread into warm marinara is SOO delicious.
If you don’t like warm pizza sauce, you can serve it cold.
