Categories     appetizer

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt
2 pounds store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature
2/3 cup pizza sauce, plus more for dipping
24 pepperoni slices, quartered
1 cup shredded mozzarella (4 ounces)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1 ounce), plus more for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with oil.
  • Pour the 3 tablespoons oil onto a large dinner plate and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pinch off pieces of dough the size of Ping-Pong balls and roll them into rough balls. Roll each dough ball around in the salted oil until all sides are coated.
  • Put half of the dough balls in the prepared pan, squishing them together. Spread half of the pizza sauce over the balls, then sprinkle with half of the pepperoni, mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat with the remaining dough balls, pizza sauce, pepperoni and cheeses.
  • Put the loaf pan on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake until the bread is puffed up and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and continue to bake until the bread is cooked through in the middle, about 25 minutes more. Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then use dry oven mitts or kitchen towels to carefully unmold. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan and serve hot with more pizza sauce for dipping.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 can(s) refrigerated biscuits
1 stick butter, melted
1 pkg sliced pepperoni
1 pkg brick mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano and basil mixed
1 can(s) pizza sauce (8 oz)

Steps:

  • 1. In a microwave safe bowl, melt your stick of butter. Add garlic powder and oregano/basil mix and set aside.
  • 2. Open all 4 cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit in half. Open your package of cheese and cut into 80 pieces. Place 1-2 slices of pepperoni on biscuit half and one piece of cheese. Wrap biscuit around pepperoni and cheese and pinch closed.
  • 3. Dip each biscuit into the melted butter mixture and place into an ungreased bunt pan. Continue this process till all your ingredients are used. If there is any extra butter left, just pour over the biscuits in the pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
  • 4. Allow to cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes. Place a large plate on top of pan and flip over onto plate. Warm your pizza sauce and place in a small bowl in the center of the ring. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pizza pull-apart loaf.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough and chewy. Mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. A warm place will help the dough rise faster.
  • Bake the pizza pull-apart loaf at a high temperature until the cheese is melted, the pepperoni is crispy, and the bread is golden brown.
  • Let the pizza pull-apart loaf cool for a few minutes before cutting it into pieces. This will help the cheese set and make it easier to cut.
