Ingredients

4 pretzel buns
1 cup shredded mozzarella
½ cup mini pepperoni
¼ cup butter melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
Optional: pretzel salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Make four diagonal, evenly spaced cuts in one direction on the pretzel buns without going all the way through. Then, make four diagonal, evenly spaced cuts, in the opposite direction without going all the way through.
Mix together the melted butter, garlic powder and oregano.
Spread the bread apart where you cut it and pour the melted garlic butter in. Use about 1 tablespoon per pretzel bun.
Fill the cuts with shredded cheese and mini pepperoni.
Wrap each cheese stuffed pretzel bun in foil, place them on a baking sheet, and bake at 350˚F for 15 minutes.
Unwrap from the cheesy garlic bread from the foil and place it directly on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional five minutes to crisp up the outside a bit.
Optional: Sprinkle with pretzel salt before serving.

Notes

I found the pretzel buns in the bakery department at my local grocery store. If you are unable to find them, use another type of dense/crusty bun or roll like French rolls, French baguettes or ciabatta rolls.
