There’s no better appetizer than the warm bread, melted cheese and delicious pizza toppings in the PIZZA PULL APART BREAD!
OK. I made pizza pull apart bread. I had talked about it with my kids when I first had the idea and then finally made it late one afternoon. My kids happened to be over at their friends house. As soon as I finished taking pictures to show you all my husband and I had a just a taste till the monkey’s got home. but then we had another, and then another……. and then it was gone. The whole thing. GONE. All I can say in our defense to you is, it’s really good. (Don’t tell my kids though or I’ll be in trouble.) Those little boys missed out and I couldn’t resist!
It’s warm bread with cheese pepperoni, onion, and bell pepper all shoved into the cracks then topped with more cheese and then baked until everything is ooey gooey amazing!! We dipped it into the Best Ever Pizza Sauce and it was amazing. We just stood around the kitchen island grabbing bite after bite until it was gone, and it was gone fast. I’m serious when I say that when you make this for your next party or just because you will be so happy that you made this really easy recipe and your friends and family will start to call you the ruler of the kitchen! They may even through you a parade!
