Pull Apart Pizza Bread Ingredients

You only need a few ingredients to make this filling and comforting appetizer.
- Store bought biscuits – this will take the place of pizza dough; biscuits are often used as the base for pull apart bread as they are easy to work with and tasty with a whole host of toppings and mix-ins.
- Bacon bits – add a slightly smoky and salty flavor.
- Chopped pepperoni – channels the flavor of pepperoni pizza.
- Melted butter – ensures that the biscuits get nice and brown and take on a rich buttery flavor.
- Garlic powder – brings together all of the ingredients with a distinctly pizza-like quality.
- Mozzarella cheese – great as a way to hold everything together and ensures a melty and cheesy experience.
How to Make Pizza Pull Apart Bread
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a bundt pan or use cooking spray and set aside.
- Cut your biscuits into quarters and add them to a large bowl.
- Add bacon, pepperoni, butter, garlic and mozzarella cheese to the bowl with the biscuits.
Prep is super easy and can be done all in one mixing bowl–just combine all the ingredients!
- Mix ingredients until well incorporated.
- Add the ingredients to the bundt pan in pieces, evenly spread around the pan.
It’s easy to create yummy layers of dough and pizza toppings.
- Continue adding the dough pieces to the bundt pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and invert the bundt pan to remove the bread.
Feel free to add more cheese or other toppings between the layers of dough to bring out the flavors you like best!
- Transfer the bread to a colorful serving plate and add a bowl with pizza sauce for dipping.
FAQs
What kind of dipping sauce can I use for this pizza bread?
I highly recommend serving this with some marinara sauce to really capitalize on the pizza flavors of this dish.
You could also serve it with ranch dressing, hot sauce, or a garlic and herb dipping sauce.
Can I make this pull apart bread in a cast iron skillet?
Sure! The baking time may vary somewhat and it will be a different shape, but a cast iron skillet is a great way to make this yummy appetizer. You can really use any kind of baking dish.
Is there a way to make individual pizza rolls?
Yes, but the prep may take a bit longer. In this case, you’ll want to combine all of the ingredients aside from the butter and biscuits.
Roll each the dough balls out flat and stuff each one with the pizza filling, rolling into a self-contained ball.
Then place in the bundt pan (or a cast iron) and brush the butter over the biscuits and bake!
You can also sprinkle some additional cheese on top to make it really melty and gooey.

Can I make my own biscuit dough?
If you really want to make biscuits from scratch, here’s a great recipe from Mom on Timeout. But I recommend using storebought dough for pull apart bread, as it’s typically a pretty good quality and much easier when it comes to prep time.
Popular Variations and Substitutions

- Brush the bottom of the pan with a small amount of olive oil before baking for a super golden and crispy finish.
