Pepperoni & Mozzarella Pull Apart for a Tasty Tailgate #SundaySupper
Are you ready for some football food?
This week our #SundaySupper family is kicking off the start of football season by preparing our favorite tailgating treats! Nothing says GO TEAM like a group of friends all digging into my perfectly puffed Pepperoni and Mozzarella Pull Apart Bread!
Ingredients
1/3 cup favorite flavored dipping oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 (16 ounce) pkgs pre-made pizza dough or homemade pizza dough
1 (7 oz) pkg sliced pepperoni
1 (8 oz) pkg shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
2. Separate pizza dough into small bite sized pieces.
3. In a bowl add your favorite flavored dipping oil. Toss dough pieces in dipping oil to lightly coat.
4. Layer dough pieces in bottom of bundt or fluted tube pan, next layer sliced pepperoni, shredded cheese and sprinkle with garlic powder. Repeat all three layers again in the same order, and then end with final layer of dough pieces.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is browned and cooked through in the center, 30-40 min
6. Remove from oven, and invert the pan on a cutting board; the bread will fall out of the pan in one piece.
7. Serve by pulling the bread apart into individual servings with optional marinara dipping sauce on the side.
I usually layer until about 2/3 of the pan is full. When I make this bread I definitely plan for it to feed a hungry crowd. You can scale down the ingredients if you choose to feed a smaller crowd. You can serve it hot or room temperaure, which makes it a great option if you are tailgating at the game or heading ove to a friend’s house. And if you do decide to make the larger version, don’t worry. It’s pretty tasty leftover too, so you can be sure it won’t be around for long. You can also edit this recipe to create a delicious Garlic Parmesan Pull Apart to accompany any Italian themed dinner. YUM!
Now run! Go Long!

I made something similar a few weeks ago but I stuffed each piece of bread dough with the pepperoni and cheese-your version looks a lot easier! I’m totally using your recipe next time!
That way is too labor intensive for me, even though it would be awesome if you have the time. This one is def faster and easier to throw together.
Being pepperoni pizza my favorite you can imagine what this is doing to me! Awesome! Have a great sunday Karen!
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen Notes recently posted..Ham and Mushroom Handpies #SundaySupper
Wow…you are combining my favorites – Pepperoni & Mozzarella! I never thought it can be turned as bread, what a great idea!
Faye Leong recently posted..Hot & Spicy Popcorn Chicken #SundaySupper
You probably need to try pepperoni bread then too!
So there are no rules about how big of a hunk you can pull off this to eat? Because mine would be a great big piece for sure.

I love that you could customize the ingredients to taste preferences as well…
Katie recently posted..Simple Roasted Purple Potatoes for #SundaySupper
Customizing the ingredients is the best! I think I may even attempt a ham and cheese one next time with a honey mustard dipping sauce. ok…now my own mouth is watering. lol
What kind of flavored cooking oil did you use?
I use an oil flavored with basil and parmesan. I think it adds to the layers of flavor with the garlic powder. You could easily use a good tasting olive oil and add some other spices that you enjoy, like an italian blend. It’s all on what you like. Enjoy!
My family will go crazy for this! It reminds me of Monkey bread with pepperoni and cheese! I can’t wait to try this.

This looks amazing .. Do you pull a part the dough and roll in little pieces? I have never made pull apart bread before might try to make with my gluten free pizza dough. Just curious…
Sheila Fretz recently posted..A Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwich for #SundaySupper the perfect way to start your tailgaiting party
Yes. I do piece the dough out and toss it in the dipping oil. That way it’s easy to pull apart into pieces. Def let me know if you do a gluten free version. I have friends that would prob love to see it!
Karen:
Do you thing frozen (and thawed) bread dough would do ok in place of an honest to goodness pizza dough?
Thank you.
I don’t see why not. I grew up with my mom doing that same exact thing. Texture may be slightly different but certainly not in a negative way. I am sure it will still be delicious!

Chris Baccus recently posted..#SundaySupper Louisiana Sloppy Joe’s
You should, Chris, but if you do want to lighten it up, leave out the dipping oil and try turkey pepperoni.
I love the idea of pull apart bread, but have never actually made it. This pizza version just might motivate me
What kind of dip oil is good to use?
I use a parmesan & basil flavored oil, but that suits my taste. You could use any flavor that suits you, garlic, italian, etc. Or to save the fat, you could also just use fresh or dried Italian seasoning.

Love the idea of pull apart bread! You’re right – perfect for sharing esp at parties. Pinning!
Plus I love the fact that you don’t have to heat it if you don’t want to. Room temp is totally fine.
That looks so cheesy, crusty and delicious!

Tried this tonight and found that it came out dry & tough to pull apart. Did I cook it too long or not use enough cheese when I made it?? Any thoughts??
Hi Chris! Sorry to hear that. Did you coat the dough pieces in oil? Fresh or store bought dough? Did you alter the recipe at all?
Twitter: Canadian88
says:
It was store bought dough…it is just tough to pull apart and the dough is very crusty…may have to try again with homemade dough and not cook as long (40 minutes)…I didn’t change the recipe at all.
I would definitely start with decreasing the cook time, Chris. Plus maybe the dough was a little dry. The pepperoni, cheese and dipping oil should provide plenty of moisture.
Good luck! Let me know how it goes!

Do all the ingredients get mixed up enough? What if you tossed everything together before you baked? I am definitely going to try this one. (Just came across on Pinterest).
I like them to be layered, but if you wanted to be tossed around, you could try that too.
Thanks! I can’t wait to try! Looking forward to following you!
This truly does look awesome – I feel like I can smell it from here!
I am wracking my brain trying to figure out how to make this without meat for my vegetarian daughter…and not just have cheesy bread. Do you have any ideas for non-meat mix-ins??
You could do any pizza toppings that you like really, just watch the moisture content so the bread doesn’t get too soggy inside. Does your daughter like any of the meat substitute items? If she does, maybe try a faux sausage or I think they even have a faux pepperoni.
I think that Boca or Morningstar crumbles would taste good along with some well-patted-dry canned mushrooms and olives. I’ll let you know after we give it a try – thanks!!!

Is there another pan that you can use?? I don’t have a bundt pan and the store on base doesn’t have them either
, military stationed overseas so I’m very limited 
Thanks,
Kerri
Hi Kerri! Great question! I would think a loaf pan would work by using a smaller qty or ingredients. You could probably even use a round cake pan starting with dough, then pepperoni, then cheese and then end with dough again. I think I need to do some experimenting myself this weekend.
Let me know what you try! Good luck!
This looks fabulous and going on our Super Bowl menu! 1 quick question…I’m unclear from the recipe, is there only 2 layers of the dough…the one you start with and then the one to top it all off?
Thanks!
Deb
It’s actually 3 layers of dough pieces when I make it since I like the top to be bread, but you could also end with cheese. Mix it up if you like.
Question….for the layers of dough, are they overlapped or just a single layer? I’m making it now and it doesn’t seem like there is going to be enough dough to make 3 full layers. Thanks!
Remember the dough will spread as it bakes so the layers of dough pieces can have small spaces. It does not need to be a solid layer of dough pieces.
It also does not have to be three precise layers. It’s a pull apart. Have fun with it and don’t try and make it perfect. I am sure it will be delicious!
Love it! So few ingredients!

KP~this looks so very scrumptious..can’t wait to make!! BUT I do have a question, that need clarification on.. the pre-made pizza dough, can that be the pizza dough from a can?? Like pillsbury or a store brand pre-made pizza dough that you would find in the refrigated case..starting to get a little nervous because that was what I bought to make this with and now just not sure if that’s what you used or something else. Read through all the wonderful comments but never saw this question being posed..saw one regarding frozen bread dough, but nothing refering to the ‘canned’ pizza dough.. thanks sooo much for your help!!
Hi Marie,
I have used both pre-made dough from my local grocery store (but not in a can), and made the dough from scratch. Both are fine. As for using the dough in the can, my mom made it that way growing up occasionally, so I am sure you are fine using what you bought. Let me know how everyone likes it. Enjoy!
I guess I was thinking along lines of a monkey bread that calls for canned biscuits… with using the dough from a can do you think that need to adjust cooking time or ingredients in any way?? Thanks so much for your response Karen!! Can’t wait to make for my meeting tonight, and share with all my girlfriends!
I have not made it with biscuit or canned dough in a long time. I can’t guarantee what time you need to bake yours, but start with 25-30 mins depending on how many layers you have, and then watch it closely from there. You don’t want to overcook it. Good luck!
I had only one can of dough and didn’t have enough for layering…It will still taste fine-I am sure.
It will taste just as delicious, you will just have less.
When I make this again, I will definitely spray the pan with cooking spray first. It did not say to do this in the recipe and I thought the oil in the recipe would take care of it…wrong! My bread did NOT come out in one piece, more like a lot of pieces. LOL Very good, just need to spray next time.
In your pan non-stick, Cindy? Mine is and I do not spray it, but I had another person say their’s stuck too. I am guessing it may be the different brands of pans we all use. Hope it comes out better next time for you.
Karen,
Do you think I could use a garlic butter to coat the pieces in place of the dipping oil and then omit the garlic in the recipe? Little Ceasers sells a little package of the same butter they use on their bread sticks and I thought that would be good, but don’t know if that will bake right. Any thoughts?
Hi Rachel! I am sure you could use the dip from LC’s. It’s essentially margarine and garlic. Instead of coating each piece, I would drizzle it around in between pieces and layers. You don’t want it to be too buttery, but then again, maybe you do.
Butter is yummy! ha!

My brother suggested I would possibly like this blog. He was entirely right. Love it!
I really want to make this but I do not own a bundt pan, I know, how can that even be possible but it is true. What could I use instead of a bundt pan?
You can honestly use any pan. Try a small loaf pan or even a round cake pan, but just don’t add too many layers. You can even try making mini versions by adding your ingredients into a muffin tin, and reducing the bake time. Get creative and give it a whirl!
