This pizza pull-apart bread is an “appetizer” recipe entry in the So Delicious Dairy Free 3-Course Recipe Contest, submitted by reader Alyse Raponi. To add nutrition and body to the dough, Alyse uses Protein+ AlmondMilk from So Delicious.
Alyse says, “This appetizer can be made into tiny individual pop in your mouth appy’s or put in a Angel Food cake pan and pulled apart like savory Monkey bread. I am sending you a pizza dough recipe but, to make this even faster to prepare store bought raw whole wheat dough can be used. This pizza pull-apart bread is a great large group appetizer any time of the year!”

Special Diet Notes & Options: Pizza Pull-Apart Bubbles
By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, peanut-free, and soy-free. Just use caution on the dairy-free cheese alternative that you select. Many brands of “shreds” are now soy-free and geared toward allergies.
For tree nut-free pizza pull-apart bread, So Delicious offers a Coconut Milk Beverage that can be used in place of the AlmondMilk in a pinch.
For vegan and vegetarian pizza pull-apart bread, substitute your favorite flavorful vegan sausage, chopped, for the kielbasa.
