**Pull-Apart Pizza Bread**
**Ingredients:**
-
1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
-
* 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
-
* 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
* 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
-
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
-
* 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
-
* 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
* Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
-
* Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
-
**Prep the Biscuits:** Open the can of biscuit dough. Separate the biscuits and cut each one into 4 pieces.
-
2. **Assemble in the Pan:** Lightly grease a Bundt pan or a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the biscuit pieces into the greased pan.
-
3. **Sauce and Cheese:** Dollop spoonfuls of pizza sauce over the biscuit pieces. Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni slices.
-
4. **Herbs and Spice:** Whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic (if using), Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Drizzle this mixture evenly over the pizza bread.
-
5. **Bake:** Cover the pan tightly with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are mostly cooked through.
-
6. **Brown and Bubble:** Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops are golden brown.
-
7. **Serve:** Let it cool for a few minutes before carefully inverting the Bundt pan onto a serving platter (or serve directly from the baking dish if not using a Bundt pan). Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Pull apart and enjoy the cheesy, pepperoni-filled deliciousness!
