Pizza Bread Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16 ounces)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Marinara or pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a bundt pan or a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare biscuit dough: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters and place the pieces in a large mixing bowl, creating the base of your pull-apart bread.
- Add toppings and seasonings: To the biscuit pieces, add shredded mozzarella, mini pepperoni slices, grated Parmesan, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Toss everything thoroughly to coat the dough evenly with cheese and seasoning.
- Transfer to pan: Spoon the mixture into your prepared pan, spreading and gently pressing down to compact the dough and toppings without flattening completely.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top turns a beautiful golden brown and the center is fully cooked through.
- Rest and invert: Allow the bread to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after baking to let it set. Then invert it carefully onto a serving plate so the top is beautifully displayed.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the bread, if desired, and serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Customize the recipe by adding cooked sausage, black olives, or bell peppers for extra flavor and variety.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the pepperoni and increase vegetables such as mushrooms or bell peppers.
- This dish is perfect for game days, parties, or any casual gathering.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftover bread can be reheated in the oven.
