Easy Pull Apart Pizza Bread

We are always looking for fast and easy recipes! I love my carbs...so the word "bread" in the title caught my eye and we LOVE pizza so we had to try this recipe!  The more nights we can have pizza at our house the better!   Tupps has become an expert at making pizza dough because of this.  He actually made, from scratch,  whole grain dough for this recipe, that is why the bread looks a bit browner in the pictures.

Ingredients:

2 Cans of Pizza Dough or Biscuits
2 cups Mozzarella cheese (or your favorite cheese)
2 Tbs of really good Italian seasoning
1/2 cup olive oil
1 - 8 oz package of pepperoni
1 cup Parmesean cheese
Optional:  Add a 1/2 tsp. of fresh garlic or garlic powder




Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Cut pizza dough or biscuits into quarters
Cut the pepperoni into smaller pieces
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and toss so that the oil is spread evenly on each piece of dough
Bake for about 30 minutes (or until the top is brown and the center is thoroughly cooked)
Flip over on to a plate while it is still hot
***Serve with side sauce and enjoy!


Tupps Tidbits:   Place in a bundt pan or  9 X 13 purex that is sprayed with non stick cooking spray, the cheese will stick to the side of the pan..don't forget the marinara or pasta sauce for dipping! (whole grain dough ingredients are a secret...just kidding...ask if you want it )

This made an awesome appetizer. Definitely party food and very addictive. The crust was nice and crunchy and gooey mozzarella with the  bits of pepperoni were just perfect and then we dunked it in marinara sauce! Love it!   KEEPER IN OUR HOUSE!

Tupps Tidbits:  To toast the sesame seeds, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.  Stirring occasionally
