Ingredient Notes

See the printable recipe card below for full ingredient list and step-by-step directions.

• Biscuits: Any refrigerated biscuit dough works well for this recipe. For homemade biscuits, try my Buttermilk biscuits recipe.
• Pepperoni: Optional. Swap in cooked sausage, ham, bacon, or skip the meat for a cheese-only pull apart pizza bread.
• Mozzarella Cheese: Freshly shredded mozzarella cheese melts best and gives you that classic cheesy pull apart pizza bread texture.
• Italian Seasoning/ Garlic Powder: Adds classic pizza flavor. Adjust the amounts to suit your taste.
• Olive Oil: Helps the biscuit dough bake evenly while adding flavor. Melted butter works well, too, for a richer taste.

Variations

• Pepperoni Pull Apart Pizza Bread: Make the recipe exactly as written for a classic pepperoni pizza version.
• Cheese-Only Pull Apart Pizza Bread: Skip the pepperoni and add extra mozzarella cheese for an ultra-cheesy pull apart pizza bread.
• Meat Lovers: Swap or combine the pepperoni with cooked sausage, bacon, or ham.
• Veggie: Add chopped onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, black olives, or jalapeños.
• Crescent Roll Pull Apart Pizza Bread: Use refrigerated crescent roll dough instead of biscuit dough for a softer, flakier texture.
• Air Fryer Pull Apart Pizza Bread: Skip the oven and cook in the air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, checking often for doneness.

How to Make Easy Pull Apart Pizza Bread

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously grease a Bundt pan. Cut each piece of refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters.

Step 2. In a large bowl, combine the biscuit pieces, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and olive oil. Toss until the biscuit pieces are evenly coated.

Step 3. Transfer the biscuit mixture to the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is cooked through and the top is golden brown. Let the pull apart pizza bread rest for 5 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve warm with marinara sauce, if desired.

Tips for Success

• Watch while baking. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent the Bundt pan with foil until the center is cooked through.
• Grease the pan well. A generously greased Bundt pan helps the pull apart pizza bread release easily after baking.
• Let it rest before serving. Allow the bread to cool for about 5 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate to help it hold its shape.
• Serve warm with marinara. A side of warm marinara or pizza sauce makes this pull apart pizza bread even better for dipping.

Storage & Make Ahead

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the marinara sauce separate.
• Make Ahead: Assemble the bread, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
• Freeze: Once baked and completely cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil or place in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
• Reheat: Warm leftovers in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes, in the air fryer at 325°F for 3-5 minutes, or microwave individual portions in 30-second intervals until heated through.
