    Pizza Pull Apart Bread. This easy appetizer recipe is loaded with cheesy goodness. Serve for game day or at your next party!

    Pizza Pull Apart Bread baked to perfection and ready to serve.

    Welcome to Day #1 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by myself, and Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. With the big football game coming up, we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we will be dishing up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoy this fabulous group of recipes.

    I was chatting with my buddy, Kristen some time ago. We were gabbing about appetizers, and how much folks love game day food. One thing led to another and we decided to launch a yearly event. So this kicks off our first year of Appetizer Week. Okay, so maybe the part about it being yearly I might have forgotten to mention to Kristen. Surprise! She'll be thrilled. *giggles*

    Pizza Pull Apart Bread | Cravings of a Lunatic | Easy and delicious pizza pull apart bread.

    Okay, all kidding aside, welcome to a week filled with savoury appetizers to get you ready for the big game. As Kristen and I chatted I realized I had very few appetizers on my sites. So this week we are going to fix that by shifting  into appetizer overdrive. Just in time for the big game. I have to say it's been fun delving into the world of appetizers. So many options, so little time.

    I hope you enjoy Appetizer Week. Be sure to check out all the other great appetizer dishes all my bloggy buddies cooked up. We are going to help you throw the best game day party on the block!

    Pull Apart Pizza

    Pizza Pull Apart Bread. This easy appetizer recipe is loaded with cheesy goodness. Serve for game day or at your next party!
    Course Appetizer
    Prep Time 15 minutes minutes
    Cook Time 30 minutes minutes
    Total Time 45 minutes minutes
    Author Kim Beaulieu

    Ingredients

    • Pizza Dough homemade or store bought
    • ½ to ¾ cup pizza sauce depending on taste
    • 1 to 1 and ½ cups pizza mozzarella depending on taste
    • ¼ to ½ cup of shredded pepperoni depending on taste

    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 350 degree F.
    • Get a loaf pan prepared by spraying it with non-stick spray. Set aside.
    • On your work surface roll out, or hand stretch your dough until it's spread evenly. Use some flour to make sure you dough isn't sticky, it will make the stacking process easier later.
    • Now spread the pizza sauce over top evenly.
    • Sprinkle the the cheese over top.
    • Now toss the pepperoni over top.
    • Take a pizza cutter or knife and cut your pizza into squares that will fit into the pan vertically.
    • Stack about 4 squares high. I managed to get about 3 stacks with 4 high. Once you have them stacked take one at a time and carefully flip them sideways to they are standing up in the pan. So basically you're taking a horizontal stack and making it go in the pan vertically. Quickly do the same with your other stacks. It's okay if it doesn't touch the sides, it's going to expand as it cooks.
    • Place in oven and cook for about 15 minutes. Pull the oven rack forward and toss some extra cheese on top. Slide it back into the oven and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes. You want the top golden brown and the cheese all nice and melted.
    • Remove from oven and carefully take a knife and slide it around the edge of the pan to loosen the pizza. Turn upside down on a plate, then flip again onto another plate. This is a good skill to learn if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
    • Serve with a big old cheesy smile!

    Notes

    Recipe adapted slightly from Just a Taste's Pizza Pull Apart Bread. I was unsure how to stack mine, I usually do this bread in bubble pizza form so I swung by Kelly's for some great visual tutorials on how to stack the bread properly. She's got a great tip there about proofing bread you should check out.
    Notes:
    Make sure you use flour on the work space or your dough will be too hard to work with and stack.
    Roll the dough out on the thin side, if the dough is too thick it won't cook properly. However if it's too thin you'll have trouble picking the stacks up to move them. So pay attention to your thickness when making this.
    We love cheese but don't go too crazy or the stacks will be hard to transfer to the loaf pan.
    You do lots of variations of this. We make pizza about once or twice a week so I'm always playing with new ideas and techniques to keep it interesting.
    Try some of the following recipes for your dough or sauce:
    Killer Spicy Pizza Dough
    Salsarific Pizza Dough
    Sweetums Slow Cooker Pizza Sauce

    You seriously have to try this. It's amazing. I usually do my pizza pull apart bread like bubble pizza, it's round pieces. I decided I wanted to try stacking them like cinnamon pull apart bread but was unsure how to do that with the toppings on it. So I did some digging on my pinterest boards, and remembered Kelly from Just a Taste did a Pizza Pull Apart Bread with this technique. I headed over to Kelly's site and she had a great photo tutorial how to stack them. So thank you to Kelly, your photos made the process easy to follow. I'm thinking mine would have been a mess without your guide. Luckily it turned out fabulous.

      I have quite a few OXO products, but my favorite is the cherry /olive pitter; it's simply fascinating and I could pit cherries for hours with it.

      If I made Pizza Pull APart Bread, I would probably want my very own loaf. This may just end up at a birthday celebration on Friday. 🙂
