Easy Pull-apart Bread Recipe: This Bread Recipe Has Several Surprise Ingredients Appetizers Bread/Muffins

Have you ever found a recipe you really wanted to try, but maybe didn’t have exactly the right ingredients – and started substituting? My mom cooked like that, and she taught me well.

I wanted to make a bread recipe that started with canned biscuit dough. I knew I didn’t have that, but thought I had a can of crescent dough. Nope. I did have two cans of pizza dough, so I figured that was close enough.

The pull-apart bread recipe called for Ken’s Caesar Salad Dressing. Nope. I thought about just using Italian dressing but decided it needed something to give it a little creaminess, so I mixed Italian dressing and ranch dressing. The end result? Tasty! How close it actually is to the original recipe, I can’t say, but we enjoyed it.

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients

• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (divided)
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 1/4 cup Italian dressing (I used Olive Garden Italian Dressing)
• 1/4 cup ranch dressing
• 2 cans (13.8 ounces each) refrigerated classic pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Here’s how to make it:

1. Open cans of pizza dough, but do NOT unroll. Cut the roll into 1/2-inch slices and lay flat on a plate.
2. Mix 1 cup of cheese, parsley and dressing in a small bowl. Brush each dough slice with the mixture.
3. Stack six slices on top of each other and lay the stacks on their side crossways in a 9x5-inch loaf pan that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. 
4. Mix the melted butter and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan and brush the tops of the slices. Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. If it browns too quickly, cover lightly with aluminum foil.
5. Break apart and serve with something tasty for dipping, like flavored olive oil or hummus.

Note: The original recipe called for 1/2 cup of Ken’s Steakhouse Caesar Dressing and 2 cans of buttermilk biscuits.
