Starter
My friend used Roasted Red Pepper Italian W/Parmesan Dressing. This would also be a great appetizer with Pizza Sauce on the side for dunking.
Also bakes up much faster - 15 minutes is too long! Keep an eye on it.
*If your oven bakes HOT maybe bake at 425º. 15 minutes would be too long either way, start watching at the 10 minute mark.

1. In a bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients.

3. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.

*Ranch Dressing can be substituted for Italian Dressing if you want a little different taste or need to make a substitute.
