Pizza Bread has all the flavors of pizza in a fun, pull-apart savory monkey bread. It is a simple recipe that can be pulled together easily with homemade or store-bought pizza dough.
Combine olive oil and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder in a small bowl.
Brush a bundt pan or 9x13 baking dish and the inside of a large mixing bowl with the olive oil mixture, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the oil for later.
Lightly flour a cutting board or working surface. Roll the prepared pizza dough out into a 12 by 9-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 1-inch cubes.
Add the dough cubes, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, a small pinch of salt, and up to 1 cup of pizza toppings of your choice to the greased bowl. Toss gently to evenly distribute ingredients.
Spread the dough mixture evenly in the bundt pan or baking dish. Brush the remaining olive oil evenly over the top of the dough.
Cover the bundt pan with a towel and let the dough rest for 15 to 20 minutes while the oven preheats. At this time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bake for 30-35 minutes if using a bundt pan or 15-20 minutes if using a baking dish, or until the bread is cooked through and golden brown. Be sure to check on the pizza bread halfway through cooking. If you notice the top is browning too quickly, tent the pan with foil and continue baking.
Once baked, remove the pizza bread from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes in the pan. If baked in a bundt pan, use a butter knife to gently loosen the bread from the sides of the pan and then invert the bread onto a serving platter. Serve with pizza sauce or marinara sauce.

Notes
Cutting the Recipe In Half: If you want to cut this recipe in half, use only 1 pound of pizza dough and bake in a 9x9 greased pan for 15-20 minutes. Canned Pizza Dough: If using canned pizza dough, use 2 (13.9 ounces) cans and proceed with the recipe as stated. Additional Add-Ins: Feel free to add any pizza toppings you like as desired, but it is best to limit toppings that are high in moisture (like peppers, mushrooms, and spinach) to no more than ½ cup so that the dough does not become soggy. Storage/Reheating: Leftover Pizza Bread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by placing the bread onto a heat-safe plate, cover with a dampened paper towel, and reheat in 30-second intervals until warmed through.
