Method
 

How to Make Pull Apart Pizza Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This crucial first step ensures your pull apart pizza bread will bake evenly and develop that perfect golden crust.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about half an inch thick. You’ll want it to be pliable but firm enough to hold all that cheesy goodness!
  3. Cut the dough into small squares, about 2x2 inches. These squares will be delightful pockets of flavor, so aim for even sizes to bake uniformly.
  4. Layer pieces of shredded mozzarella and pepperoni on each square. As you stack them in a greased loaf pan, imagine the deliciousness waiting for you, and don’t be shy with the fillings!
  5. Mix the melted butter with minced garlic; then brush it generously over the stacked dough layers. Sprinkle Italian herbs on top for an aromatic finish that will make your kitchen smell divine!
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until your pizza bread is golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on it; the sight of that beautiful crust will have you eagerly anticipating the first bite!
  7. Cool slightly before serving. This will help to avoid any burnt tongues! Serve warm with marinara sauce for an extra layer of deliciousness, perfect for dipping.
