• 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.

EASY PIZZA PULL-APART BREAD

Steps:

• Thaw frozen pizza dough overnight in the fridge, in a bowl or pan, covered.
• After dough is thawed, let dough rise in a slightly warm oven (I just turn mine on for a few seconds, and then back off before putting dough in).
• When dough has risen to about double in size, take it out and place on a lightly floured surface.
• Cut up your mozerella cheese sticks into approx 1/2 inch sections.
• Melt stick of butter in microwave for 45 seconds to a minute. Add garlic powder to melted butter and set to side.
• Pinch off dough in pieces about the size of large eggs, and flatten each piece of dough to place 1-2 pieces of pepperoni and one piece of cheese inside. Fold dough around contents and seal as best possible.
• Take dough pocket and roll in melted butter, and then place in pan of choice. (I find a bundt pan works best).
• Keep making pockets and stacking them into pan until all dough has been used, making sure to grease your pan and rolling all dough pockets in the garlic butter.
• Bake at 375 degrees, for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until dough is lightly browned.
