Pull Apart Pizza Bread
Ingredients
2 Cans of pizza dough or biscuits
2 cups mozzarella cheese (or your favorite cheese)
2 tablespoons of a really good Italian seasoning or parsley flakes
â…“ cup olive oil
1 - 8 oz package of pepperoni (we used the turkey)
1 cup Parmesan cheese
Optional: Add a ½ teaspoon of fresh garlic or garlic powder (it's amazing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Cut pizza dough or biscuits into quarters
Cut the pepperoni into smaller pieces
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and toss so that the oil is spread evenly on each piece of dough
Bake for about 30 minutes (or until the top is brown and the center is thoroughly cooked) TIP: Be sure to check it in the middle before you pull it out. If the middle is still not cooked thoroughly be sure to leave it in another 5 minutes at a time until it's done.
Flip over on to a plate while it's still hot.
Serve with a side sauce and enjoy!
Making pull apart pizza bread is a fun and customizable way to enjoy pizza flavors in a snackable form. From my own experience, using canned pizza dough or biscuits gives you a soft and fluffy base that crisps nicely when baked. I love adding a good Italian seasoning blend—it elevates the flavors without needing extra effort. For even better taste, mixing in fresh garlic or garlic powder really adds a fragrant punch that complements the cheeses. In terms of cheese, mozzarella melts wonderfully inside, creating gooey pockets between the dough pieces. Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top adds a slight nutty crispness. You can also experiment with other cheeses like sharp cheddar or provolone depending on what you have at home. When prepping the pepperoni, cutting it smaller helps distribute the flavor evenly throughout the bread so every bite has a bit of savory meat. If you prefer, turkey pepperoni is a lighter alternative that still delivers on taste. One tip I found useful is to check the middle of the bread during baking to ensure it’s fully cooked. Sometimes the outer pieces brown quicker than the center cooks through, so adding extra baking time in short increments helps achieve the perfect bake. Finally, flipping the bread onto a plate while still warm keeps the crust crispy and makes it easy to pull apart the pieces. Serving with a side of marinara or pizza sauce is delicious and enhances the dipping experience. This recipe is great for parties, kids, or casual family snacks, and can be prepared in under an hour—making it a crowd-pleasing option whenever you want a quick homemade pizza treat.
