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 a homemade option, try my Buttermilk Biscuits recipe.
- Pepperoni: Optional. Swap in cooked sausage, ham, or bacon, or leave out the meat for a cheese-only version.
- Mozzarella Cheese: Freshly shredded mozzarella melts best and gives you those cheesy, pull-apart pieces.
- Italian Seasoning/Garlic Powder: Adds classic pizza flavor with a blend of dried herbs. Adjust the amounts to suit your taste, or add a little oregano if desired.
- Olive Oil: Coats the biscuit dough and adds flavor as it bakes. Melted butter works well, too.
Variations
- Extra Cheesy: Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese along with the mozzarella for even more cheesy pizza flavor.
- 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.
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 top is golden brown and the biscuit pieces in the center are fully cooked. 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
- Check the center for doneness. Make sure the biscuit pieces in the center are fully cooked before removing the bread from the oven. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent the Bundt pan with foil and continue baking.
- Grease the pan well. A generously greased Bundt pan helps the 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 is perfect for dipping.
Make Ahead, Storage & Reheating
- Make Ahead: Assemble the bread, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the marinara sauce separate.
- 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.
Pull Apart Pizza Bread Recipe FAQs
Yes. A Bundt pan helps the biscuit pieces bake evenly, but you can use a baking dish if you don’t have one. Spread the pieces in an even layer and keep a close eye on the center, as the baking time may vary. The bread is ready when the biscuit dough in the center is fully cooked.
Any refrigerated biscuit dough works well for this recipe. Choose your favorite brand and cut each biscuit into quarters before combining it with the cheese, pepperoni, seasonings, and olive oil.

Well, that was a disappointment. Took an hour to cook and it was still doughy in places. Too much dough and other enough anything else. I could have made a skillet pizza in less time. That recipe goes into the recycle box.
Kristin says
That’s a bummer to hear! I just made this last week with no problems. Did you use everything listed and in the same pan? I wonder what happened! Sorry it was a fail!
Sandi says
Are you able to use italian sausage instead?
Kristin says
As long as its cooked, yep, you can definitely use Italian sausage, ham, pepperoni, or just about any meat desired!
Annie says
Can I use a 8″ square pan instead?
Kristin says
Absolutely! Just watch the cook time as it may vary a bit!
Karen says
Looks yummy, I will definitely try this recipe. Do you think adding a little of the marinara sauce to the biscuits before baking would make it moist.
Kristin says
That definitely would be a great addition! Just don’t add too much otherwise it’ll be mushy biscuits!
Kathy says
Regular biscuits or Grands?
Kristin says
I use Grands!! Enjoy!
Gisele says
are the biscuits cooked before making this ?
Kristin says
Nope, they cook after the ingredients are tossed together!
Angela palumbo says

Thanks angela
Kristin says
So glad you enjoyed it! Its a favorite with my kids 🙂
Carolyn says
This sounds so good, what else would you serve with this?
Kristin says
Typically when I make this, I serve a salad of some sort with it. I count it as our “healthy” side to our “not so healthy” dinner, haha!! Fresh fruit could go with it too!!
Peg says
Looks yummie can’t wait to try it!!!!!!
Kristin says

terri says
Can you mix this up ahead and keep in the fridge till ready to bake?
Kristin says
Sure!! You may just need to adjust the cooking time a bit since it will be cold going into the oven, 🙂

The recipe says to serve with spaghetti sauce-the pictures look like the biscuits have sauce in the pan before baking! Any way, it looks good.
Kristin and Adriana says
Nope, we just served our sauce on the side! You are probably seeing the toasted cheese and pepperoni resemble the color of sauce 🙂

What are biscuit cans? Where do you buy them in Australia? Can you use something else instead of the biscuit cans? TIA
Kristin and Adriana says
Biscuits here in the U.S come in a can typically from a brand called Pilsbury. In the past, I believe people have used scone mix in place of the biscuits. You can try that if you have that available. We are workijg on a homemade recipe for biscuits for those who prefer to make it from scratch rather than canned 🙂
