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 a Bundt Pan
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 Bundt 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 anything other than Bundt Pan
Hope my co-workers are in the mood for more Pepperoni! 🙂

ooo I love “pizza” Pull Apart Bread. This looks great! Love it!
Oh my this looks crazy delicious!
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! 🙂
[…] pull apart breads. One of my favorites versions to take to any get together or office party is my pepperoni and cheese pull apart, but I think I may have found a new variety that gives it a run for it’s money. For our […]
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!
[…] be done so I checked Pinterest to see if anyone else had tried it and stumbled across this recipe here. I altered my ingredients a bit and came out with a meal that had my picky toddler going back for […]
I can’t wait to try this!
I’ve never heard of flavored dipping oil.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
P.S.- I usually roll out the pizza dough, add the pepperoni and cheese in a couple layers, roll it up and bake it. I like the bundt cake pan. It looks nice.
I also make a rolled pepperoni bread. Let me know if you change it up and make it in a bundt. You can actually use any style pan, just by modifying the number of layers. 🙂

Just made the recipe with these additions: pepperoni and hard salami, fresh mushrooms sprinkled with olive oil and garlic powder, fine diced red, green peppers, and onions marinaded in a little Italian vinaigrette, onion, garlic powders, and oregano all layered in. Really yummy!! Too bad I left out the black olives I was planning to use – next time…
Your additions sound fantastic! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Looks delicious! I’m going to make it for this weekend Superbowl! Just want to confirm that the bundt pan does not need to be greased? Thanks!
I don’t grease mine, but it’s nonstick. I’ve never had a problem with it sticking, but I also use plenty of the dipping oil to coat the dough too. You can always err on the side of caution and grease the pan if you like. It won’t hurt the bread’s outcome. Enjoy!
What is flavored dipping oil and where can I fine this
Flavored dipping oil is just olive oil with herbs and seasoning added so you can use it for dipping bread, tossing on veggies, etc. You can usually find all different kinds with the other olive oils in your local grocery store. I use one flavored with basil and parmesan, but you can use one with flavors you like.
hi I want to try this recipe so bad but the grocery store only had the canned pizza crust will this work
If it’s the pillsbury canned type, it should work. I know some people use canned biscuit dough sometimes. I have never made it, but would probably suggest not to coat the pieces in the oil. Just drizzle a little through the layers for flavor and I think you should be fine. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
thank u or I was thinking- maybe cute the canned pizza crust in strips- roll into balls then dip in oil will this work or would us suggest getting canned biscuits instead- I live in a small town so selection is horrible
hi sorry just nervous bout the dough- I could also buy frozen bread rolls- that probably would not work though= I will wait to hear from you before I do anything-
If it’s regular frozen bread dough it would work. Not sure about rolls though. There is a super easy homemade dough recipe I use here on the site too if you have the ingredients on hand. Dicing up the canned pizza dough or biscuits has worked for others. Don’t be nervous. Just give it a try and enjoy. 🙂
Hi, after reading this awesome post i am too delighted to share
my familiarity here with mates.
Does this need to be refrigerated? If I make this at night for a potluck for lunch or dinner the next day, is it OK to keep covered at room temperature or should it be refrigerated and reheated? Thanks!
I would personally refrigerate overnight due to the cheese and oil used in it. Take it out in plenty of time in the morning to bring back to room temp or pop in the oven to warm it up slightly before serving.
Enjoy!
