This Cheesy Pizza Pull-a-part Garlic Bread with Pepperoni is a delightful twist on classic garlic bread. It’s stuffed with a gooey, cheesy, and pepperoni-filled surprise that’s perfect for sharing with friends and family. The combination of garlic, butter, and three types of cheese creates a flavorful and indulgent treat that will satisfy any pizza craving.
Ingredients: 1 loaf of Italian bread. ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted. 4 cloves of garlic, minced. 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. ½ cup of pepperoni slices. ½ teaspoon of dried oregano. ½ teaspoon of dried basil. ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes optional. Salt and black pepper to taste.
Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C. Make a grid of 1-inch squares by cutting the Italian bread across and down, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom crust. Crack the garlic into small pieces and add it to a small bowl. Add the dried oregano and basil, red pepper flakes if using, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Spread a lot of the garlic butter mixture between the bread slices, making sure it gets into every space. Spread the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses out evenly between the bread slices, making sure to stuff the cuts with cheese. Put the pepperoni slices inside the bread slices so that they are spread out. Cover the stuffed bread loaf with aluminum foil, but leave the top open. Put the loaf on a baking sheet and wrap it in foil. Bake in a hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Take the lid off the bread and bake it for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the top is crispy and golden brown. Take the Pepperoni and Cheesy Pizza Pull-a-part Garlic Bread out of the oven and let it cool down a bit before you serve it. If you want, you can top it with more Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Enjoy while still warm!
