This recipe was inspired by one of my favorite movies, The Godfather II . I have elevated the traditional pepperoni pizza with sauteed portabella mushrooms and fresh baked Pillsbury Crusty French Loaf bread. It's easy to make and is so pretty you almost don't want to cut it. I You'll love it! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons red onions |
4 large slice portabella mushrooms |
1 dash salt and pepper |
1 (11 ounce) can pillsbury refrigerated crusty french loaf |
4 ounces sour cream |
1 (14 ounce) jar pizza sauce, divided |
2 1/2 ounces pepperoni slices (about 15 slices) |
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese |
1 egg yolk, with 1 tsp. water |
parsley (to garnish) |

4. 4. To close dough, fold in the 1 inch of dough on the left and right. Pull top dough over 1/3rd of filling and then bottom dough over top dough. Pinch the sides to make sure they are closed.
