My two favorite things to eat are bread and cheese which is why this pull apart pizza bread is kind of new favorite thing EVER. It’s loaded with all the flavors you’d expect from a really great pepperoni pizza.
What is Pull Apart Bread?
Pull apart bread is formed in a way so that you can pull pieces off. In this case, we are using Rhodes Bake-N-Serv® Dinner Rolls to create this savory pull apart pizza bread.
About Rhodes Rolls
I love using these frozen dough balls from Rhodes – they are SUPER versatile. You’ll find here on the blog lots of recipes I have developed for them of the years, like Olivia and Ethan’s favorite treat – S’mores Pull Aparts.
These Yeast Dinner Rolls are available 12, 36, or 72 rolls per bag and I always have them on hand. They are also:
- Non-GMO
- Made with Cane Sugar
- Have no preservatives
- Vegan
- Kosher
- Made In The USA.
How do you thaw dinner rolls?
In my opinion, the best method is to put them in the refrigerator the night before you want to use them.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take the rolls out of the freezer and set them onto a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Put the baking sheet with the rolls into the refrigerator overnight (or during the daytime). The rolls need at 8-10 hours in the refrigerator.
- Remove the rolls from the refrigerator. If they have not doubled in size, let them rest at room temperature until they do.
How to make Pizza Bread
Here’s what you will need to make this recipe:
- Rhodes Bread Dinner Rolls
- Cooking Spray
- Olive Oil
- Fresh Garlic
- Italian Seasoning Mix
- Colby Jack and Mozzarella Cheeses
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Mini Pepperoni – if you have the regular ones, just cut them into quarters.
- Salt and Pepper (I use Himalayan salt)
- Tomato Sauce for dipping – I love using our homemade sauce.
Here is how to prepare pull apart pizza bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F.
- Grease a bundt pan really, really, really well. I cannot overstate this. If you do not grease the pan REALLY well, your pizza bread won’t come out.
- Once the rolls are thawed (see above), cut them into quarters and place them into a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over all the dough.
- After that, add the Italian seasoning mix and fresh garlic.
- Add the cheeses and pepperoni.
- Use a spoonula to mix everything all together.
- Spoon the dough mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes until the pizza bread is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and use a butter knife to gently go around the edges of the pan to help loosen the pan.
- Finally, invert onto a cutting board or serving plate.
- Serve hot with warm tomato sauce for dipping.
