This easy pizza pull apart bread recipe transforms refrigerated biscuits into a cheesy, pepperoni-studded party favorite that’s ready in 30 minutes. Perfect for game day or family dinner!

Ingredients

  • 1. 2 cans biscuits (16 biscuits total)
  • 2. 8 oz pepperoni
  • 3. 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4. 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (or pizza seasoning)
  • 5. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6. 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 7. Pizza sauce/marinara

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. This size gives the biscuits room to expand while keeping them close enough to pull apart easily.
  2. Prepare the seasoned oil by combining the olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended – you’ll see the herbs begin to release their fragrant oils almost immediately.
  3. Open the biscuit cans and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. You’ll notice the layers in the dough – these will create wonderful texture in the finished bread.
  4. Place the biscuit pieces in a large mixing bowl. Pour the seasoned oil mixture over them and gently toss until each piece is evenly coated. The dough should glisten but not be soaked.
  5. Add the pepperoni and cheese to the bowl. Using your hands or a large spoon, gently fold everything together until the toppings are distributed throughout the biscuit pieces. The cheese will begin to stick to the oiled dough.
  6. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, arranging it in a slightly mounded layer. Don’t press down too firmly – you want some air pockets for that perfect pull-apart texture.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is fully cooked. You’ll know it’s ready when the biscuits have puffed up and the cheese has melted into gooey perfection, with some crispy edges forming around the pan.
  8. Allow to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving. This brief rest helps the layers set so they pull apart cleanly rather than collapsing.
  9. Serve warm with warmed pizza sauce or marinara on the side for dipping. Watch as everyone reaches in to pull off their favorite pieces – the corner pieces tend to disappear first!
