Crusty balls of pizza dough, filled with melted mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni– this Pepperoni Pizza Pull Apart Bread is my new definition of happiness. Indulge yourself and treat your guests with this fun Game Day appetizer. 

Pepperoni Pizza Pull Apart Bread

 Thanksgiving is over, and we’re in the lovely lull between the first big event of the season and the second.

While I’m going to take a few days, shoot maybe even a week off from planning our Christmas menu, I can’t avoid yummy finger food for game days. And, of course, if I’m being honest– with recipes like this Pepperoni Pizza Pull Apart Bread, I sure as heck don’t want to!

Appetizers don’t get easier than this one. We’ve done pull apart rolls before. They’re great, mostly because they’re super easy to throw together and also because you can stuff so many yummy things inside.

In this case? Sliced pepperoni and creamy mozzarella cheeses. Brushed with olive oil and butter before baking, sprinkled with grated Parmesan, and served with warm marinara sauce for dipping– it’s the ultimate appetizer.

Skip the order for delivery, and avoid a last minute trip to the store. You’ve got the right idea though, Pizza and Game Day do go hand in hand.

With this yummy Pepperoni Pizza Pull Apart Bread there’s no tipping. Pop it in the oven right before kick off and you won’t even need to miss a second of the action on the field.

Serve it on a pretty platter, or a cute cutting board with a small bowl of warm marinara set right in the middle. It couldn’t be any easier for guests to grab their own dippable piece of the ‘pie’.

    I was going to make something like this yesterday, but I was lazy to do so. Now that I’ve seen this, I regret that I didn’t. Well, it’s not yet late, right? This looks perfect for the coming holiday and for this week’s FF! 😉
