Pepperoni Pull Apart Bread Perfect for a Super Bowl Crowd
 |
A co-worker was celebrating a birthday this week in the office, so you know what that means…it’s time to make Pepperoni and cheese Pull Apart Bread!
This bread is not only perfect to feed a crowd, but you have easy serving options, as it’s delicious, both served warm and at room temperature. So easy!
Ingredients
1/3 cup favorite flavored dipping oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder (or more if you like garlic like I do)
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. Layer dough pieces in bottom of bundt or fluted tube pan, drizzle lightly with some of the flavored dipping oil
4. Layer sliced pepperoni, shredded cheese and sprinkle with garlic powder.
5. Repeat with layers again making sure to drizzle the dough pieces with dipping oil before layering on the pepperoni, cheese, and garlic powder.
6. End the final layer with dough pieces an a drizzle of dipping oil and garlic powder.
7. Bake in preheated oven until the bread is browned and cooked through in the center, 30-40 min
8. Remove from oven, and cool. When cool the bread should flip easily out of the pan.
I was extremely proud of how pretty this pull apart bread was out straight out of the oven. I really took my time with the dough pieces, and didn’t overload the pan like I did last time. I used an angel food pan, and I think the tube shape helps the bread cook evenly.
The smell of baking pepperoni pizza took over my house, and I am very lucky the bread had to go to the office the next morning. If I had to wait any longer, my will power to stay strong on Phase 1 of South beach, may have come to screeching halt.
Once again, I forgot the sauce to serve on the side, but I don’t think anyone missed it. We shared a wonderful assortment of home made dishes for our birthday pot luck, but what I am most happy about, is that there was very little pepperoni bread left over to tempt me. 9 days down for Phase 1, and only 5 left to go!
I was also asked recently by a reader on the original post here, if this bread can be made in any other pan, since they did not have access to a bundt. I would think it could just by decreasing the amount of ingredients. My suggestion was a loaf pan, or even a round cake pan, and I definitely think I need to experiment this weekend with some alternate pans.
Hope my co-workers are in the mood for more Pepperoni!

Karen~this looks so very scrumptious..can’t wait to make!! BUT I do have a question, that I 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. Planning to make tonight for a MUM’s meeting and just wanted to be sure have the right ingredients.. thanks sooo much for your help!!
Hi Marie! I have seen it made by others using the pre-made biscuits or pizza dough in the can. I often use the pre-made that I find in the refrigerated case in my local grocery store bakery section. It’s not the kind in a can, but it is pre-made.
Thanks Karen for your response!! Will definately keep close eye on, and check early 25 mins or so, than watch from there!! Thanks for sharing the recipe on your blog and I am looking forward to making it and sharing! Have a great evening!
This is in the oven now, with the Pillsbury pizza dough!
I made a half portion for myself since I can’t eat meat without regretting it (*insert sad face!*) and used jarred mushrooms instead of the meat…. Everything smells delicious so far! Can’t wait to eat it!!
You can fudge a bundt pan for recipes like this by using a round or square pan & a washed out can or make a tightly packed foil cone or tube in the center of your pan before filling! Make sure to oil the can or foil before filling your dish.
What a great tip! Thanks for sharing! This recipe also works straight up in a loaf or round pan. It’s pretty foolproof.
I made this for my family using se quick homemade pizza dough in the food processor & they loved it. Thanks for sharing!!!
So glad you liked it! I appreciate you stopping by! You should check out the cheese and garlic one next! So yummy!
