| Level: | Easy |
| Total: | 1 hr 25 min |
| Active: | 25 min |
| Yield: | 8 to 10 servings |
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Kosher salt
- 2 pounds store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup pizza sauce, plus more for dipping
- 24 pepperoni slices, quartered
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella (4 ounces)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1 ounce), plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with oil.
- Pour the 3 tablespoons oil onto a large dinner plate, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pinch off pieces of dough the size of Ping-Pong balls, and roll them into rough balls. Roll each dough ball around in the salted oil until all sides are coated.
- Put half the balls in the prepared pan, squishing them together. Spread half the sauce over the balls, then sprinkle with half the pepperoni, mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat with the remaining dough balls, sauce, pepperoni and cheeses.
- Put the loaf pan on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any drips), and bake until the bread is puffed up and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cover loosely with foil, and continue to bake until the bread is cooked through in the middle, about 25 minutes. Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then use dry oven mitts or kitchen towels to carefully unmold. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan, and serve hot. (Let your guests pull the bread apart!)

It didn’t work. I got store bought pizza dough and the dough grew too much. I followed the directions step-by-step.
Bummer. Had to ordered a pizza for my kids later on.

Good and easy! I added minced garlic to the olive oil, tasty.
Was so easy and so good. My granddaughter was here for Christmas so we made it for everyone for dinner one night. We had so much fun. I would say add extra pepperoni. Other than that was wonderful and so much fun. Thank you so much.
This is good. My kids helped me prepare. For me anytime in the kitchen w my kids is amazing. My kids love this with ranch dressing.
Tried a few more toppimgs and it came out great!
too much bread, not enough “toppings”. Boring.
