Pizza Pull Apart Bread - Fun pull apart bread with a delicious pizza filling and a garlicky exterior. This is a fun dinner if you have youngsters. Pizza pull apart bread has been bouncing around in my head for a while now. It's the dinner and/or appertizer version of monkey bread and if you know me I'm a big, big fan of monkey bread. This is the best kind of dinner if you have a kid that loves pizza and don't mind them using their fingers. My four-year-old couldn't get enough of this and the best part is I don't have to force it down his cute little throat.

Okay, so that last sentence sounded a wee bit harsh, but seriously. Have you ever had a little guy that will not eat anything? That's Lucian. Although, he always has room for junk food. Candy, cookies, slim jim's, beef jerky, that can all go down with ease.

If you notice in the second picture above, there is some ricotta in this pizza pull apart bread. I'm a lover of calzones and couldn't help but incorporate a little ricotta because of it. I'm not sure if everyone puts ricotta in their calzones, but the local pizza shop where the hubby and I went to college sure did. We ate a lot of those calzones. I craved them like a maniac while I was pregnant too.

The thing with ricotta is that it can make your bread soggy. I highly recommend putting the ricotta in a fine mesh strainer with a cheese cloth to remove any extra liquid.
