Lunch: Pizza Pull-Apart Bread

Recipe by Joanna Saltz On those party nights you wish you could order a pizza appetizer before you serve dinner, make this amazing pizza pull-apart instead—and save your dignity.

Ingredients

1 stick butter, melted
1 tbsp. Italian seasoning (in the spice aisle)
1 loaf crusty bread, like Italian or sourdough
2 c. shredded mozzarella
2 c. pepperoni slices
Marinara or pizza sauce, for dipping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, mix together butter and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
Slice top of bread long-ways and then cross-ways, being careful not to cut loaf all the way through. Gently open cuts of loaf.
Pour butter mixture all over bread, making sure mixture makes it into crevices. Then cover bread with cheese and pepperoni, pushing both deep into cuts, as well.
Move loaf to sheet pan, and bake for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
