Pull Apart Pizza Bread Recipe

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 packages of pizza dough or refrigerated flaky biscuits.
  • 1 1/2 cup of marinara sauce
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Extra marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
  • Pepperoni

Instructions
 

  • You would need a 10-inch circular-shaped baking parchment, where you will place the first layer of pizza dough on.
    On the first layer of pizza dough, spread ½ of the marinara sauce and ½ of the mozzarella cheese and the pepperoni.
    Then form a second layer of dough with the same toppings as the previous one. Finally, add the third layer of dough on top and remove any excess dough with a knife.
  • Place a round object (cup or a bowl) in the center of the pizza dough and cut around it 12 equal pieces.
  • Rotate every 2 adjacent parts in reverse directions. Do this to all the 12 parts pizza parts.
    It’s almost done!
  • Transfer the baking parchment to a baking tray, and cover the dough with an egg wash, made by mixing the egg with water, which will basically give this shiny, golden appeal of the baked goods.
    Put the tray in a preheated oven at 400ºF till the dough become golden brown and the cheese melt. This should take about 20 minutes or so.
    Don’t forget to dip this heavenly pizza in the marinara sauce before eating it!

  • You are free to use either homemade or, if you’re in a hurry, ready-made refrigerated pizza dough for this recipe.
  • You can add whichever amount of pizza you feel is best for you. The sky is your limit when it comes to sticky, creamy cheese.
  • A high quality Italian seasoning works best with this recipe. You don’t want to use just any kind of seasoning.
  • Remember, it is a pizza at the end of the day so you are free to add any of the pizza toppings you like. Onions, cooked sausage crumbles, and green peppers.
  • The idea of using a Bundt pan when the pizza is made with flaky biscuits ensures that every bit of the pizza is well cooked. As using a regular pan can result into a doughy inside with crunchy outside.
