This Pull-Apart Pizza Bread is a fun and delicious twist on traditional pizza, featuring flaky biscuit dough layered with gooey mozzarella cheese, savory pepperoni, and a flavorful garlic and herb butter mixture all baked in a bundt pan to create an irresistible pull-apart appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Dough

  • 24 ounce pop-cans flaky biscuits

Cheese and Meat

  • 16 ounce block whole milk mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup thin pepperoni slices

Butter Mixture

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt

Serving

  • 16 ounce jar pizza sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a bundt pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside for assembly.
  2. Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  3. Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the cans of flaky biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters to create smaller pieces that will layer well and allow for even cooking.
  4. Cube Cheese: Cut the whole milk mozzarella cheese block into cubes approximately ¼ to ½ inch in size to ensure even melting throughout the bread.
  5. Layer Biscuit Dough: Place half of the biscuit dough pieces into the bottom of the prepared bundt pan, arranging them in an even single layer. Avoid packing the pieces closely to allow space for cheese and butter to fill in.
  6. Add Seasoned Butter: Spoon half of the garlic and herb butter mixture evenly over the biscuit layer to infuse flavor throughout.
  7. Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Evenly distribute half of the mozzarella cubes and half of the pepperoni slices on top of the buttered biscuit dough layer.
  8. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process by adding the remaining biscuit quarters, butter mixture, mozzarella cubes, and pepperoni slices, ensuring an even stack in the bundt pan.
  9. Bake Covered: Cover the bundt pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  10. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes to allow the top to turn golden brown and the cheese to fully melt.
  11. Cool and Unmold: Let the pull-apart pizza bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Gently flip it again so the cheesy pepperoni topping faces upward for an attractive presentation.
  12. Serve with Sauce: Warm the pizza sauce and place it in a small bowl either in the center or on the side of the bread to use as a delicious dip for each pull-apart piece.

Notes

  • Do not pack the biscuit dough pieces tightly in the bundt pan to allow room for cheese and butter to distribute evenly.
  • Warming the pizza sauce enhances its flavor and makes dipping more enjoyable.
  • Use high-quality mozzarella and pepperoni for best results and flavor.
  • You can customize this recipe by adding vegetables like sliced olives or bell peppers between layers.
  • Allow the bread to cool slightly before unmolding to maintain its structure and prevent breaking.
