Pepperoni pull apart bread is absolutely delicious with a marinara sauce, but they are equally delicious when you eat the bread all by itself.

I use my family as guinea pigs when it comes my recipe testing. This weekend the family was gathered together for Mother’s Day and our son’s birthday. I took the opportunity to bake up a batch of this pepperoni pull apart bread.

It was the second time I made them. I was trying to perfect the recipe and get some opinions on the flavor of the bread. To my disappointment, the bread was a bit underbaked, but the flavor was right where I wanted it to be.

So back to the drawing board. I made the pull apart bread one more time, this time baking them just a bit longer. They turned out perfect, but I had no one to try them, well except myself. ย So I had a taste and put the rest in the freezer, to share when some of the kids come around

This is my first bread that I have made in my cast iron skillet. I am happy with the results and I am sure that this is the beginning of many skillet breads to come.

Well for this bread I made it with some of my favorite ingredients: pepperoni, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. The bread is soft and full of flavor.

The pepperoni is chopped into small pieces so it is easier to work with. I used garlic powder for the flavor of garlic and less mess. This makes a great appetizer or you can eat it with your dinner.

If you are a bread lover like me and are looking for some new recipes I hope you will check these out.

Prep Time: 1 hour hour 50 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 27 minutes minutes
Total Time: 2 hours hours 17 minutes minutes
Servings: 12 buns
Calories: 408kcal

Ingredients

  • 20 pepperoni each cut into 8 wedges
  • 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil plus 1 more tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese plus 2 more tablespoons

Instructions

  • Combine 1 cup flour, yeast sugar, salt, garlic powder, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and Italian seasoning in a larger bowl.
  • Heat water until 120 to 130 degrees F. Add the water, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and pepperoni to the flour mixture.
  • With a wooden spoon mix the ingredients until well combined. 
  • Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough is slightly sticky. As I add the flour I work it in by my hand. 
  • Knead the dough until smooth and slightly sticky. Set in a warm place, cover, and let it rest for about an hour or until double in size.
  • Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Once the bread is raised to double in size, punch down. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts.
  • Form into balls and arrange in the skillet. Let rest for about 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Just before the bread goes into the oven brush it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 25 to 27 minutes or until bread is browned. Remove from oven and enjoy.

    These look amazing!!! I need to make them when the boys are around for dinner ๐Ÿ™‚

    P. S. Maybe I missed it, but does the 1/4 cup Parm go in the dough with the pepperoni?

    What beautiful bread! And I’m a cast-iron guy, so this is for me. (I also happen to have some salami in the fridge…)
