Superbowl time! That's how late I am in posting these recipes...4 months?! Even more fun than watching the game (or any game, really) is having people over and making some party food that otherwise would seem out of place at the dinner table. I loved the idea of a pull-apart bread that could easy be pulled, dipped and eaten with little muss or fuss. I found several variations of pull-apart bread and had to decide between cheesy-jalapeno bread, bacon-cheesey-ranch bread...the options go on and on. Why I decided on a pizza version, I have no idea, but I have plenty of games in my future at which to try the others. Or my favorite type of game night...BOARD game night! Who's in?
Ingredients
1 round loaf of sourdough bread
16 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
3.5 oz sliced pepperoni, cut in half
3-4 baby bella mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 small can black olives, drained and sliced
3 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. Italian seasonings
2 tbsp. parmesan cheese, shredded
Pizza sauce, for dipping
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Without cutting all the way through the crust, cut the bread both length- and width-wise using a good serrated knife.
3. Place the bread on the baking sheet. Insert the pepperoni, mushrooms and olives into the bread.
4. Sprinkle the cheese all over the bread.
5. Combine the melted butter and seasonings. Pour evenly over the bread.
6. Wrap the bread tightly in foil and bake for 15 minutes.
7. After 15 minutes, unwrap the bread.
8. Bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread turns brown and slightly crispy.
