Pull Apart Pizza Bread Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

DIPPING SAUCE: While pizza sauce is a natural fit for the bread, you don’t need to stick with just that. Try other pizza dips such as ranch or blue cheese or even something that you might use with pasta such as a spicy arrabbiata or warm marinara sauce. 

MEATS: You can swap the pepperoni for any other type of meat for a variation. Salami, Canadian bacon, Italian sausage, chorizo, bacon, or cooked pancetta are great ideas. Mini pepperoni slices are also a great option. You could also go meat-free if you like. 

CHEESES: Mix it up and add Italian blend cheese, shredded cheddar, Colby, or even pepper jack.

HEAT: Add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix for an added kick of spice.

VEGGIES: Like with any good pizza, your favorite toppings help make it amazing. You could add veggies to the mix if you’d like. I’d suggest green peppers, onions, banana peppers, or olives.

How To Make This Pull Apart Pizza Bread Recipe

STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

STEP TWO: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Set aside.

STEP THREE: Open the cans of flaky biscuit dough and cut each of the biscuits into quarters.

STEP FOUR: Cut your block of mozzarella cheese into ¼ to ½-inch cubes. 

STEP FIVE: In the bottom of your greased bundt pan, evenly layer half of your biscuit pieces. Make sure that you have a nice even single layer and do not pack the biscuit dough balls tightly because you want some of the cheese and butter to fill in the cracks.

STEP SIX: Spoon half of the melted garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of the dough layer.

STEP SEVEN: Evenly distribute half of the mozzarella cheese cubes and finally half of the pepperoni slices.

STEP EIGHT: Repeat steps 5 to 7 with the remaining half of your ingredients.

STEP NINE: Cover your bundt pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

STEP TEN: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.

STEP ELEVEN: Allow your pull-apart pizza bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes then carefully flip the whole thing out onto a serving plate. You will want to gently turn the bread back over on your serving dish so that the cheesy pepperoni topping is showing.

STEP TWELVE: You can warm the pizza sauce and place it into a small bowl. You can place it in the center, or on the side, of your pull-apart pizza bread for people to dip their pieces into.

How To Serve

This easy pull-apart pizza bread recipe is delicious and would be a great appetizer for a party. It would also be a fun twist on your weekly pizza and a movie night that the entire family will love. Add a fresh Caesar salad on the side for a complete meal.

Notes

• We highly recommend using a good-quality block of mozzarella cheese. It will melt much better and give you more of that gooey pizza effect. Fresh mozzarella, cut into cubes, will work well also.
• We do not recommend using pizza crust dough for this recipe. It does not cook as evenly in the bundt pan and it sticks to the pan when trying to flip it out for serving. I have used the ‘butter’ and the ‘plain’ variety of the pop-can biscuits and they both taste great.
• For those that do not like pepperoni, and want a vegetable version, feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings like mushroom or onion slices. I suggest that you do not add any more than the 1 cup of add-ins so that your cook time remains consistent.
