Make the Pizza Dip

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375F degrees.

  • Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a medium oven-safe saucepan over medium heat until gently shimmering. Add chopped onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 6-8 minutes. Add Red Gold crushed tomatoes and Tomato Love Sriracha Diced Tomatoes with Red Chilies and stir until well combined. Stir in dried oregano, butter (if using), salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes.

Make the Garlic Bread

  • Step 1

    While sauce simmers, combine softened butter, garlic, Parmigiano cheese, and parsley in a small bowl. Spread about 2 teaspoons butter over each slice of bread, then arrange on a baking sheet.

  • Step 2

    Top tomato sauce with shredded cheese and a layer of pepperoni, if using. Cover pan with foil or a tight fitting lid. Transfer pan to the oven along with the bread and bake until cheese is fully melted, about 10-12 minutes. Remove cover and broil until cheese and pepperoni are golden, about 5 minutes. Note: you may need to remove garlic bread from the oven before the pizza dip if it becomes golden more quickly.

  • Step 3

    Let pizza dip cool slightly before sprinkling with more Parmigiano cheese and parsley. Serve with garlic bread for dipping.
