– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 pound pre-made pizza dough

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
3. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle large enough to wrap the meat mixture. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Shape the meat mixture into a round loaf and place it in the center of the dough circle.
5. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the meatloaf, pinching to seal and create a round bread-like shape. You can create fun designs or patterns on the dough if you like.
6. Brush the beaten egg over the dough to create a golden, shiny finish.
7. Bake the Bread Round Meatloaf in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (70°C) and the crust is beautifully golden brown.
