Pepperoni Pizza Pull Apart Bread

If you love pizza and who doesn't, here is an amazing appetizer. The bread is good it could be a meal with a side salad!

3 cans of refrigerator biscuits, cut in quarters to make 120 piece

6-ounce package of pepperoni slices, cut in quarters or

a 6-ounce package of mini pepperoni slices

2 Tablespoons of Italian seasoning blend

1 ½ Tablespoons of garlic powder (not salt)

2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese (green shaker kind)

4 ounces of shredded Parmesan cheese

8 ounces of shredded Mozzarella cheese

3 Tablespoons butter, melted

3 Tablespoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray Bundt pan with cooking spray.  In a large bowl, blend Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and shaker Parmesan cheese.  Add biscuits, pepperoni, and shredded cheeses. Toss with hands until all pieces of biscuit are well coated with seasoning and cheeses.  Melt butter in a small bowl in microwave and stir in olive oil.  Pour on top of biscuit mixture and toss again.  Place biscuit mixture in Bundt pan and bake 20-25 minutes until no longer doughy.  Remove from oven and let cool 10-15 minutes and invert on plate/platter.  Serve with warm marinara sauce (I use one cup of Newman’s Own or Emeril’s Marinara .  If you don’t have any marinara, just use one cup of tomato sauce to which you add a 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, ½ teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder) and warm garlic butter sauce for dipping.
