Pull Apart Pizza Bread

I made this last night for a get together with the girls. The way we tore into this, you would have thought we were going to fight for the last bite. It is so easy, so delicious, and fun to eat! I made mine with only cheese and pepperoni, but you could really personalize it and add whatever your favorite pizza toppings are.

Ingredients:

1 unsliced round loaf sourdough bread
 12-16 ounces mozzarella or Provolone cheese, thinly sliced and torn apart
1 package mini pepperoni or turkey pepperoni
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese
 pizza sauce for dipping

Some other options: ham and pineapple, crumbled sausage and peppers, mushrooms, banana peppers.


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the bread lengthwise and width wise without cutting through the bottom crust.

Place bread on a foil-lined baking sheet and insert cheese slices and pepperoni between cuts. Combine butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasonings. Drizzle or brush over bread with a pastry brush. Sprinkle bread with Parmesan cheese.

Wrap bread completely in foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Unwrap the bread and bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted and pepperoni is a little crispy.
