Additional recipe notes
Use a bundt pan, but if you don't have on a 9'' x 13'' baking dish will also work. Spray the inside of it really well with non-stick coating If the top of the bread starts getting too dark during baking, loosely cover it with a piece of tin foil No frozen bread dough? use homemade dough , pizza dough, biscuits or even crescent roll dough might just work in a pinch! Feeling lazy? You can skip the stuffing of the bread and toss everything, except the marinara in a bowl and toss until combined. Place it in a the pan and bake!
