Easy Pizza Pull Apart Bread Recipes

PIZZA BREAD

Steps:

• Combine olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder in a small bowl.
• Brush a bundt pan or 9x13 baking dish and the inside of a large mixing bowl with the olive oil mixture, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the oil for later.
• Lightly flour a cutting board or working surface. Roll the prepared pizza dough out into a 12 by 9-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 1-inch cubes.
• Add the dough cubes, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, a small pinch of salt, and up to 1 cup of pizza toppings of your choice to the greased bowl. Toss gently to evenly distribute ingredients.
• Spread the dough mixture evenly in the bundt pan or baking dish. Brush the remaining olive oil evenly over the top of the dough.
• Cover the bundt pan with a towel and let the dough rest for 15 to 20 minutes while the oven preheats. At this time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes if using a bundt pan or 15-20 minutes if using a baking dish, or until the bread is cooked through and golden brown. Be sure to check on the pizza bread halfway through cooking. If you notice the top is browning too quickly, tent the pan with foil and continue baking.
• Once baked, remove the pizza bread from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes in the pan. If baked in a bundt pan, use a butter knife to gently loosen the bread from the sides of the pan and then invert the bread onto a serving platter. Serve with pizza sauce or marinara sauce.

• Spread the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. A slightly smaller dish will work as well, but the bake time may vary.
• Pour the pizza sauce all over the top of the cheese mixture, then gently spread to cover.
• Top the sauce with the remaining mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle the chopped pepperoni all over.
• Cut the biscuits into quarters.
• Roll each biscuit into a ball, then place on top of the cheese and sauce mixture.
• Place the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl, then microwave until the butter is fully melted, about 30 seconds. Stir in the remaining Parmesan cheese to combine.
• Brush about 3/4 of the butter mixture over the top of the each roll. Bake on the lower oven rack, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the the rolls are golden brown.
• Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil, then continue to bake for another 40 minutes or until the cheese layer is completely melted and gooey, and the rolls are baked through.

EASY PIZZA PULL-APART BREAD

Steps:

• Thaw frozen pizza dough overnight in the fridge, in a bowl or pan, covered.
• After dough is thawed, let dough rise in a slightly warm oven (I just turn mine on for a few seconds, and then back off before putting dough in).
• When dough has risen to about double in size, take it out and place on a lightly floured surface.
• Cut up your mozerella cheese sticks into approx 1/2 inch sections.
• Melt stick of butter in microwave for 45 seconds to a minute. Add garlic powder to melted butter and set to side.
• Pinch off dough in pieces about the size of large eggs, and flatten each piece of dough to place 1-2 pieces of pepperoni and one piece of cheese inside. Fold dough around contents and seal as best possible.
• Take dough pocket and roll in melted butter, and then place in pan of choice. (I find a bundt pan works best).
• Keep making pockets and stacking them into pan until all dough has been used, making sure to grease your pan and rolling all dough pockets in the garlic butter.
• Bake at 375 degrees, for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until dough is lightly browned.
• Serve with warm marinara for dipping sauce.
