Step-by-Step Instructions for Garbage Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Gradually add warm water and stir until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Allow it to rise for about 1 hour.
  4. Prepare your filling by mixing shredded cheese, cooked vegetables, and optional meats in a bowl. Season with spices.
  5. Once the dough has risen, roll it out and spread the filling evenly before rolling it into a log and sealing the edges.
  6. Transfer to a baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
