Pull Apart Pizza Bread

Whether served as an appetizer or the main event, this cheesy loaf is a fun and eye-catching twist on pizza while holding on to all of those flavors we love so much. Feel free to try other filling variations such as roasted red pepper or marinated artichoke hearts, just be sure to choose something with a low water content to prevent the bread from getting soggy. And this dish can easily be made vegetarian by simply cutting out the pepperoni. To help keep the bottom of the loaf intact when making slices, lay a wooden spoon or chopstick on either side of the bread to prevent the knife from cutting all of the way through.
