Cheesy Garlic Butter Pull Apart Bread

If you like pizza, you will love pizza pull apart bread.  Start with a whole loaf of bread and fill it with butter, garlic pepperoni, and all the tasty things you like on your favorite pizza.

Ingredients

1 loaf white bread, uncut
2/3 c. butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 c. pizza sauce
1 onion, chopped
1 tomato, finely chopped
3/4 c. mini pepperoni
3/4 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 Tbs. Italian herbs or seasoning

Directions

Heat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with foil, making sure it is large enough to cover the entire bread loaf once you get it filled with ingredients.

Place the bread loaf on a cutting board.  With a sharp bread knife, make cuts through the bread diagonally in rows across the top into diamond shapes. Leave at least 1-inch of bread uncut at the bottom of the loaf. You want the bread to hold together. 

Carefully pick the bread up and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, and garlic.  Mix well. Working in between each wedge, drizzle  half of the garlic butter and do the same with the pizza sauce. 

Next add the onion, tomato, pepperoni slices and mozzarella cheese in between the slices. 

Drizzle the rest of the garlic butter over the top of the bread.

Sprinkle with Italian herbs or seasoning.  

Pull the foil up and around the bread loaf to completely cover the bread.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese starts to melt. 

Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, and the bread is crunchy. 

Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool slightly. 

Serve with marinara sauce or more pizza sauce if desired.  

Notes

You can also add olives, peppers, different cheeses to the ingredient list to put in between the bread slices.
