Description
Pepperoni Pull Apart Bread is a cheesy, buttery appetizer made with layers of biscuit dough, garlic butter, melty cheese, and mini turkey pepperoni. Baked until golden and soft, it’s the perfect shareable snack for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8-count) buttermilk biscuits
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (113 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (56.5 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup mini turkey pepperoni, plus more for topping
- Warm pizza sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping.
- Separate the biscuits and split each horizontally to make 16 thin layers.
- Dip each biscuit layer into the garlic butter to coat.
- Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of cheese and a heaping tablespoon of mini pepperoni onto each layer.
- Stack the layers into two stacks of eight and place horizontally into the prepared pan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove foil, sprinkle with reserved cheese and extra pepperoni, and bake an additional 25 minutes or until deep golden brown and fully baked.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with parsley and serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Cover with foil to prevent over-browning during the first half of baking.
- Use chopped regular pepperoni if mini is unavailable.
- Add crushed red pepper or Italian seasoning to the garlic butter for extra flavor.
- To make vegetarian, swap pepperoni for sautéed vegetables.
- Assemble up to 6 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
