Game Day Food Cheesy Pull Apart Pizza BreadFinger foods and football go together SO well! And, since we are HUGE football fans, especially of the college variety we just made a new finger food recipe!! Last night, our beloved Huskers had a BIG game against an undefeated Michigan State. We’ve got a new coach and it’s been the worst season in almost 60 years! EEK! But, that wasn’t stopping us from excitedly watching the game. Heading over to a friends’ house, we decided to bring a delicious pull apart pizza bread for some perfect game day food. It was so cheesy & delicious! And there’s no coincidence that it’s largely red & white-perfect Huskers football food (like our football mini pizzas, Nebraska veggie tray and more)! It was perfect while watching the game…and WHAT a game it was!! Nebraska Michigan StateWe WON the game in the last few seconds – a HUGE upset and much-needed victory for us!!! So, I’m extra fond of this little delicious loaf now! 😉 I’ve seen ALL kinds of recipes for pull apart breads (or “bloomin’ breads) all over the internet, but had yet to try making one myself! I have NO idea why I waited so long! This was SUPER easy to make (the hardest part is just cutting the bread) and SOOOooooo good! Pull Apart Garlic Cheese BreadYou just need a few ingredients too! Grab your favorite round loaf of french or sourdough bread (we picked sourdough), cut lengthwise & widthwise (without cutting through the bottom), add your favorite pizza ingredients – and you’ve got a completely delicious creation! Serve up with a side of marinara for tasty dipping! Bloomin Pizza BreadHere’s the recipe:

Cheesy Pull Apart Pizza Bread

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Appetiser
Author: Sara @ Mom Endeavors

Ingredients

  • 1 unsliced round bread loaf french or sourdough
  • 2-3 Cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 10-20 thin pepperoni slices
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pizza seasoning
  • 1/4 Cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut bread loaf lengthwise and widthwise (without cutting all the way through the bottom of the loaf), creating approximately 1-inch wide sections of bread.
  • Place bread on a foil-lined baking sheet, stuffing the shredded mozzarella and pepperoni between the bread slices.
  • In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and pizza seasoning. Using a pastry brush, apply a light coat of the mixture all over the bread (save for about 1/4 of the butter mixture).
  • Lightly spray foil with non-stick spray and wrap bread completely in foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and unwrap the bread. Add the remaining butter and sprinkle all over with Parmesan cheese.
  • Return to oven (bread unwrapped) and bake 10 more minutes (until cheese is melted and bread starts to look golden).

  1. I love football finger foods too – makes the whole experience even more fun! And I’m like you – have yet to make cheesy pull-apart bread, even though I know we’re going to love it. I think you’ve convinced me. Maybe this weekend!!

  2. Yum! This looks so delicious! I think I would like this recipe a lot better than the recipes I’ve seen using biscuit dough. Going to give this one a try next time I need a finger food if not sooner. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Pinning and sharing !
