Pizza Pull Aparts #PizzaDay

Posted on February 9, 2020 by Cindy Kerschner

Pizza Pull Aparts make individual pizza rolls all in one pan! Less mess, more fun!

Welcome to another fun Festive Foodies Event!
This week we are celebrating one of my favorite foods. Pizza! Today is #PizzaDay and I thought I’d try something a little different,
Pizza Pull Apart Rolls.

These rolls look hard to make but they are really easy. Think cinnamon rolls. Flatten out already made pizza dough or homemade.

Slather on your favorite sauce, cheese and toppings.

Roll it up and slice like a cinnamon roll. Place the pieces in a cake pan or spring form pan.

Brush with egg wash and bake at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes until dough is thoroughly baked and browned.
Cool slightly, then remove from pan and serve. You can use any pizza sauce as dipping sauce too if desired.

Thanks go out to Heather from Hezzi D’s Books and Cooks for hosting our event!

If waffles are on your special treat list thhis easy to use stuffed waffle maker is a great choice! I’ve used it for breakfast and as pictured above, dinner too!

Heart Shaped Tea Bags for your tea loving Valentine.
Heart Shaped Tea Bags

Got your heart set on a little tea time today? Opt for these charming bags from maker Jacqueline Aliotti . Growing up in Lyon, France, she spent hours at her parents’ tea shop, and wanted to capture the happy feelings she remembers from the customers who frequented it. The fun shapes only add to the joie de vivre. Contains caffeine. Made in France.

Blooming Lollipops for flower lovers.

These delightful lollies are a daydream come true. One day, Brennan Clarke was thinking about how he could inspire special memories like the ones he has of gardening with his grandma: What if a lollipop could grow an herb or flower? Voila! Eight all-natural botanical flavors on seed-filled sticks. Savor creative yet delicious combinations like lavender-lemongrass and strawberry-basil, then plant the stick to grow an ingredient in the lollipop. Farm to table, then back again—what a memorable treat. Handmade by Brennan Clarke and Taylor Morgan in California.

Gourmet Oil Dipping Spice Kit is a fun way to try spice blends.

Start your journey in France with herbs de Provence, tour Italy with oregano and crushed red pepper flakes, dash over to Spain with a pinch of smoked paprika, then zip to Morocco with za’atar.
