Bloomin’ Pretzel Cheese Bread recipe with butter, garlic, cheese, oregano and mini pepperoni. Make cheesy pull apart bread as a side dish or party appetizer!

Bloomin' Pull Apart Cheese Bread Recipe With Pepperoni

With all the bloomin’ recipes I’ve shared, I’ve been neglecting one important category…pull-apart cheese bread a.k.a crack bread. This amazing side dish has all the good stuff in it: bread, butter, garlic, cheese and pepperoni.

What else could a person ask for except maybe some bacon on top? And I decided to go the individual route so each person gets their own Bloomin’ Pretzel Cheese Bread and doesn’t have to share with their neighbor!

I’ve seen countless versions of this kind of bread, but the first recipe I ever saw was this one for Bloomin’ Onion Bread. I tried making an alfredo version about a year ago but failed miserably.

The resulting bread was soggy and salty. I decided to give it another try and this time I used pretzel bread and instead of alfredo, I went with garlic, cheese, and pepperoni.

How To Make Bloomin’ Pretzel Cheese Bread

Pull Apart Pretzel Bread

Step One: Cut the Bread

Start by making four diagonal cuts in the pretzel buns without going all the way through. Then, make four more cuts in the opposite direction.

The goal is to make lots of cracks and crevices for all the good stuff to hide!

Garlic Pretzel Bread

Step Two: Garlic Butter

Spread the bread apart where you cut it and pour the melted garlic butter in. There is one tablespoon of melted garlic butter for each pretzel bun.

Cheese Stuffed Garlic Crack Bread

Step Three: Cheese and Pepperoni

Then, fill the cuts with shredded mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni.

Step Four: Wrap and Bake

Wrap each cheese stuffed pretzel bun in foil, place them on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

Step Five: Brown

Unwrap from the cheesy garlic bread from the foil and place it directly on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional five minutes to crisp it up the outside a bit.

Ingredients

  • 4 pretzel buns
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Optional: pretzel salt

Instructions

  • Make four diagonal, evenly spaced cuts in one direction on the pretzel buns without going all the way through. Then, make four diagonal, evenly spaced cuts, in the opposite direction without going all the way through.
  • Mix together the melted butter, garlic powder and oregano.
  • Spread the bread apart where you cut it and pour the melted garlic butter in. Use about 1 tablespoon per pretzel bun.
  • Fill the cuts with shredded cheese and mini pepperoni.
  • Wrap each cheese stuffed pretzel bun in foil, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Unwrap from the cheesy garlic bread from the foil and place it directly on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional five minutes to crisp up the outside a bit.
  • Optional: Sprinkle with pretzel salt before serving.

Notes

I found the pretzel buns in the bakery department at my local grocery store. If you are unable to find them, use another type of dense/crusty bun or roll like French rolls, French baguettes or ciabatta rolls.

    Hi Tonia! I don’t usually buy mixes, but I did see a soft pretzel bread mix that would be perfect here! Adding bacon never hurts anything in my opinion so I might have to add some on top! 🙂 PS my best friend of 45 years is named Tonia!

      I’ve never used the soft pretzel bread mixes but I have made homemade soft pretzels and my whole family loves them. The recipe is on my blog and now my daughter will even make them herself! How wonderful that you have a best friend named Tonia! The name, spelled that way, isn’t very common. Thanks, Dorothy!

    This is a great idea! Quick, easy and definitely full of flavor!! We love pretzel rolls and now can branch out from using them as sandwiches.
