Pepperoni and Mozzarella Pull-Apart Bread

Pepperoni and Mozzarella Pull-Apart Bread is a mouthwatering creation that combines the savory flavors of pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and garlic-infused dough into a delightful and indulgent treat. This recipe offers a keto-friendly twist on the classic pull-apart bread, making it suitable for those following a low-carb lifestyle without sacrificing on taste or texture.

To begin, the keto-friendly pizza dough is transformed into small, bite-sized pieces, perfect for pulling apart and savoring with each bite. These dough pieces are then coated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil and garlic powder, adding a subtle yet aromatic touch that enhances the overall taste of the bread.

Layered within a bundt or fluted tube pan, the dough pieces are interspersed with slices of pepperoni and generous amounts of shredded mozzarella cheese. This layering technique ensures that every bite is packed with the irresistible combination of gooey cheese, savory pepperoni, and tender dough.

As the bread bakes in the oven, the flavors meld together, and the dough transforms into a golden-brown masterpiece, with melted cheese oozing out from between the layers. The aroma that fills the kitchen is enough to make mouths water in anticipation of the deliciousness to come.

Once baked to perfection, the bread is inverted onto a cutting board, revealing its beautifully layered interior. Pulling apart the bread into individual servings is a delightfully satisfying experience, with each piece offering a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

For those who enjoy an extra burst of flavor, a side of marinara sauce for dipping is the perfect accompaniment, providing a tangy contrast to the rich and savory bread. Whether served as an appetizer, snack, or even as part of a casual meal, this Pepperoni and Mozzarella Pull-Apart Bread is sure to be a hit with keto enthusiasts and non-keto eaters alike. With its low-carb profile and irresistible taste, it’s a recipe that’s bound to become a favorite for any occasion.

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Separate the keto-friendly pizza dough into small bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, add your favorite flavored dipping oil (olive oil works well). Toss the keto pizza dough pieces in the dipping oil to lightly coat them.

Layer the dough pieces in the bottom of a greased bundt or fluted tube pan. Next, layer the pepperoni slices and shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Repeat the layers until about 2/3 of the pan is full, and end with a final layer of dough pieces.

Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is browned and cooked through in the center, about 30-40 minutes.

Remove from the oven and invert the pan onto a cutting board; the bread will fall out of the pan in one piece.

Serve by pulling the bread apart into individual servings. Optionally, provide marinara sauce for dipping (choose a low-carb marinara sauce).
