Step 1: How to make Pull Apart Pepperoni Pizza?

This Pull Apart Pepperoni Pizza is a quick and easy dish to assemble and grill. The steps consist of combining all the ingredients together, grilling or baking and finally enjoying the meal.

To start, pop the refrigerated biscuits packaging and slice each biscuit into quarters. Shape them into small round balls and set aside.

Add these round biscuits into a large mixing bowl and it’s time to add in the pepperoni pizza ingredients.

Add an entire jar of pizza sauce. Do not be shy. Without enough sauce, the final dish will be dense and dry.

Add in 2 cups of shredded mozzarella, mini pepperoni’s, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. With a silicone spoon, mix the pull apart pepperoni pizza ingredients together making sure each biscuit is covered.

Another great alternative to traditional pizza is to make a Grilled Pepperoni Pizza Bread. Same ingredients, different base.

Step 2: Time to grill the Pull Apart Pepperoni Pizza.

Preheat the grill to a medium heat around 350 degrees and set for indirect heat. The recipe can be baked in the oven or any other grill at the same temperature as long as it’s set up for indirect heat. You will however, loose any smokey flavors that develop over a charcoal or smoker grill.

Place the entire pull apart pepperoni pizza mixture into a cast iron skillet. Make sure each biscuit dough balls lay flat and are evenly distributed throughout the pan. Sprinkle more pepperoni’s and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Place the filled skillet on the grill and cook for 20-30 minutes. The final product will have beautifully risen dough, perfectly melted cheese and crispy pepperoni pieces.

Remove it from the grill and dig in. Be careful, the pull apart pizza might be hot from the steaming sauce, but the cheese pull should be amazing each time your take a piece. Enjoy!

Notes

If pepperoni mini’s are not available, use regular sized and slice each in half or quarters. Small pepperoni’s make it easier to eat and coat the biscuits.

Use butter biscuits for more flavor and savoriness.

Don’t be shy on with the pizza sauce. This recipe needs liquid to keep it moist and tender.
