Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 ounces) beer bread mix
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 12 ounces beer
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • DRESSING:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • SALAD:
  • 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni, cut into quarters
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted sweet red peppers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk together beer bread mix, Italian seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir in beer until just combined (the batter will be lumpy). Transfer batter to a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Drizzle with melted butter. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Cut cooled bread into four quarters. In a small bowl, crumble one quarter; set aside. Cut the remaining quarters into cubes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine all dressing ingredients until well combined.
  4. To assemble, sprinkle 1 cup of reserved crumbs into a greased 3-qt baking dish. Layer with half each of the beer bread cubes, prepared dressing, beans, tomatoes, green pepper, onion, pepperoni, roasted red peppers, olives and cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
