Pull Apart Pizza Bread

 I found this recipe several months ago and have made it several times.  It was a hit from the beginning!  Little Man requested this for his birthday dinner last week, and the rest of the fam was pretty happy about that!

This is pretty much what the title describes - pizza bread that you can bake any way you like.  I have made it in small pie pans (like thick individual pizzas) and in muffin cups for smaller pizzas.  I have never tried it in a bread pan, but I am sure that would change the cook time and temperature somewhat.  Little Man requested the muffin cup size, so that is how I made it this time.  I doubled the recipe for our family of 8 plus 4 little birthday friends.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup olive oil
26 oz thawed dinner roll dough, cut in large bite sized chunks
2.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 T Italian seasoning
1-2 cloves minced garlic, or a 1/2 tsp garlic powder
6 oz pepperoni slices, quartered





Procedure:

Put all ingredients in large bowl and mix thoroughly with hands.  Through trial and error I have learned that the mixing is easier if you make a couple layers of ingredients while placing them in the bowl.





Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.  Dip in marinara sauce if desired.  Yum!
