What is Easy Sheet Pan Pizza?

Easy Sheet Pan Pizza is the ultimate crowd-pleaser! It’s perfect for those nights when you crave a delicious, homemade pizza without all the fuss. We make it easy by taking a risen fluffy dough and topping it with a generous drizzle of rich, fragrant olive oil, a sprinkle of aromatic dried oregano, and a dash of salt to set the stage.

Then, we add flavorful marinara sauce and scatter colorful veggies and tangy Kalamata olives over the top. The vibrant medley of veggies is as much a feast for your eyes as it is for your taste buds! Finally, we blanket the whole creation with a generous handful (or several!) of shredded mozzarella cheese, ready to melt into gooey, bubbly perfection.

Ingredients You Need

  • Frozen Dinner Rolls – Using frozen dinner rolls simplifies the process of making the dough, saving so much time while also providing a consistent yet super easy base for the pizza.
  • Olive Oil – Drizzling olive oil over the dough ensures a rich, flavorful crust that crisps up beautifully during baking.
  • Dried Oregano – A sprinkle of dried oregano adds that essential herbaceous flavor that enhances the overall taste of the pizza.
  • Salt – A dash of salt is super crucial for balancing flavors and bringing out the best in all of the other ingredients.
  • Marinara Sauce – Spreading marinara sauce evenly over the dough forms the flavorful base layer, infusing the pizza with rich tomato goodness.
  • Red Onion – Sliced red onion adds a subtle sweetness and a bit of crunch, contributing to both the texture and flavor profile.
  • Green Pepper – Green pepper slices provide a fresh and slightly bitter, yet pleasant, flavor that complements the rest of the ingredients.
  • Red Pepper – Sliced red pepper brings a hint of sweetness and vibrant color to the pizza.
  • Yellow Pepper – Yellow pepper slices add a mild, sweet flavor and a pop of bright color, making the presentation of the pizza even prettier.
  • Kalamata Olives – Kalamata olives offer a briny, tangy flavor that adds depth and complexity to the pizza.
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – Shredded mozzarella is a classic on pizza — it melts beautifully, creating a gooey, bubbly topping that holds all the ingredients together.

How to Make Easy Sheet Pan Pizza

  1. Prepare rolls. Place all of the frozen dinner rolls on a prepared large sheet pan and let them rise per the instructions on the package. Then, press the down down and top with olive oil, oregano, and salt. 
  2. Add toppings. Pour the marinara sauce over the dough evenly before adding the veggies and olives and sprinkling the cheese over the top.
  3. Bake. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the crust has reached a gorgeous golden brown color. 

Variations

  • Pepperoni – Adding pepperoni gives the pizza a classic, savory flavor with a bit of spice, making the pizza even more satisfying and hearty.
  • Mushrooms – Including mushrooms adds an earthy, umami flavor that pairs well with the other toppings.
  • Spinach – Fresh spinach brings a burst of color to the table as well as a boost of nutrients.
  • Feta Cheese – Crumbled feta cheese — one of our faves — adds a tangy, salty element that adds a unique twist.
  • Pineapple – Yes, we know it’s controversial — don’t come for us! But, pineapple chunks can add a sweet, juicy contrast to the savory toppings, if you’re into fruit on your pizza.
  • Bacon – Crispy bacon bits bring a rich, smoky flavor to the pizza.
  • Artichoke Hearts – Adding artichoke hearts provides a tender, slightly tangy flavor that adds a bit more complexity to the pizza.
  • Pesto Sauce – Swapping out marinara for pesto sauce gives the pizza a fresh, herbaceous flavor with a creamy texture that’s a fun twist on standard tomato sauce. If you want, you can still use the tomato sauce but add a few dollops of pesto on top.
  • Buffalo Chicken – Adding shredded buffalo chicken introduces a spicy, tangy element that is perfect for pizza lovers who want a bit of heat.
  • Sun-Dried Tomatoes – Sun-dried tomatoes offer a concentrated, sweet-tart flavor when you sprinkle them on as a topping.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

You sure can store this easy pizza! But it can get soggy, so make sure to reheat it in an air-fryer or oven to eliminate some of the moisture that may seep into the crust. 

Sheet pan pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To keep it fresh, place the leftovers in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

For longer storage, you can freeze the pizza for up to 2 months. Make sure to wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container to prevent freezer burn.

To know us is to know that we absolutely adore dips, and this Zucchini Dip is at the top of our list of favorites. Tangy, creamy, and even a little nutty, this dip is the perfect way to use up all of those zucchini from the garden, but even if you don’t already have them around, this recipe may just inspire a quick trip to the store to grab them!

What is Zucchini Dip?

Zucchini dip is our go-to for a fresh, creamy, and utterly delicious snack that’s perfect for any occasion. All we do is quickly cook up some zucchinis and blend them with rich olive oil, nutty tahini, tangy Greek yogurt, and garlic for a dip that’s light, flavorful, and satisfyingly creamy.

We like to serve our dip up with homemade crispy pita chips or fresh veggie sticks but you can also spread it on some crusty bread — and it’s perfect for taking sandwiches and wraps to the next level. Whether it’s for a casual family snack, a party appetizer, or a picnic treat, this zucchini dip is always a hit!

Ingredients You Need

  • Large Zucchinis – Fresh zucchinis provide a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a creamy texture when blended. Plus, they add a big boost of nutrients to the dip.
  • Olive Oil – Olive oil adds rich flavor and helps to blend the ingredients so that the dip is super smooth.
  • Salt – Salt brings out the natural flavors of the zucchini and balances the other ingredients.
  • Pepper – Pepper adds just a touch of subtle heat.
  • Tahini – We love the nutty, creaminess that tahini brings to the table in this dip!
  • Garlic Cloves – Garlic gives the dip bold flavor and an irresistible aroma.
  • Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt provides a refreshing tanginess and also helps to make it creamy.

How to Quickly Whip Up This Easy Zucchini Dip

  1. Prep zucchini. Place the sliced zucchini on a prepared baking sheet in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and add olive oil. 
  2. Bake. Place the zucchini in the preheated oven and bake until it becomes soft. 
  3. Combine. Add the baked zucchini to a food processor or high-speed blender along with the remaining ingredients and blend until the mixture is completely combined and silky smooth. 
  4. Adjust. Add salt or pepper as needed and serve or store. 

Variations

  • Lemon Juice – Adding a splash of lemon juice can brighten up the dip.
  • Herbs – Herbs like dill, parsley, or mint add fresh flavor. We prefer to use fresh herbs but dried herbs will work, too.
  • Cumin – We adore cumin! Adding it to this dip gives it earthiness and complexity.
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes –  If you want to give the dip a spicy kick, sprinkle in some red pepper.
  • Toasted Pine Nuts – For a little texture, mix toasted pine nuts into the dip or use them as a garnish.
  • Feta Cheese – Crumbled feta cheese can add some salty tanginess. Fold it into the dip or sprinkle it on top.
  • Smoked Paprika – A dash of smoked paprika will give the dip smokiness and a subtle sweetness.
  • Sun-Dried Tomatoes – Chopped sun-dried tomatoes add both sweet and tart flavor and add a bright pop of color.
  • Consistency – If you want to make this recipe into a zucchini dipping sauce for proteins or finger foods, just add extra olive oil until it reaches the consistency you’re looking for.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

When we serve this dip we rarely have leftovers! But, if you do, you can certainly keep them in the dip in the fridge to snack on later or to use as a spread on sandwiches. 

Store zucchini dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Be sure to give it a good stir before serving!

What is an Air Fryer Chicken Burrito Bowl?

This air fryer chicken burrito bowl is a favorite in our homes! It’s basically just all of the best parts of a burrito served up in one bowl of deliciousness. Plus, the beauty of this dish is that you get all the flavors and textures of a classic burrito, but since you’re using an air fryer, you get irresistibly crispy chicken, too.

For this bowl, we combine tender chunks of smoky and spicy air-fried chicken over a bed of fluffy rice, creamy black beans, crunchy lettuce, creamy avocado, and zesty salsa. It’s quick, easy, and customizable — what could be better than that, right?

Ingredients You Need

  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs – These chicken thighs are the real MVPs of our burrito bowl! They’re juicy and tender, and deliver all the protein you need to feel satisfied.
  • Kosher salt – Just a pinch of kosher salt brings out the bold flavor of the other ingredients.
  • Black pepper – We use this to add a subtle kick to our chicken.
  • Garlic cloves – These minced garlic cloves turn up the flavor volume with their irresistible garlicky goodness. Feel free to measure with your heart!
  • Chipotle in adobo sauce – Chipotle in adobo sauce adds smoky spiciness.
  • Ancho chile powder – Ancho chile powder is like a flavor bomb in powdered form — it also adds a touch of smoky goodness to the chicken.
  • Ground cumin – Cumin gives the chicken an irresistible warm, earthy flavor.
  • Dried oregano – Oregano brings herbaceous flavor to the table in this dish. 
  • Olive oil – Not only does the olive oil help to coat the chicken with the seasonings, but it also keeps the chicken moist.
  • Lime juice – Fresh lime juice gives the chicken a zesty, citrusy kick that balances out the other rich flavors. 
  • Rice – Rice is the foundation of our burrito bowl. It soaks up all the savory flavors of the seasonings and also helps to keep you satisfied.
  • Black beans – These beans add a delicious creamy texture as well as an extra punch of protein.
  • Lettuce – Shredded lettuce brings a burst of freshness and color to the bowl. 
  • Avocado – Creamy avocado slices are not only super satisfying — they also add plenty of healthy fats to the bowl.
  • Salsa – We love spooning on salsa for a bright, tangy kick that perfectly complements the smoky and spicy flavors in this dish!

Quick and Easy Steps to Make a Chicken Burrito Bowl

  • Prep the chicken. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and coat with the chipotle in adobo sauce, olive oil, and all of the seasonings. 
  • Cook the chicken. Once the air fryer is ready, put the chicken on the preheated crisper plate and air fry for the recommended time. 
  • Remove the chicken. Take the chicken out of the air fryer and immediately squeeze lime juice onto it. 
  • Serve. After the chicken has rested briefly, slice and serve over the lettuce, rice, beans, salsa, and avocado.

Variations

  • Veggies – Pack in even more nutrients with diced bell peppers, onions, or grilled corn. 
  • Meat – Switch up the type of meat that you use or choose a plant-based alternative. 
  • Dressing – Add your favorite dressing or whip up a simple vinaigrette or avocado crema. (We love the creamy chipotle dressing that we serve on our southwest salad!)
  • Beans – Swap out the black beans for a dollop of refried beans or toss in some other legumes that you like — chickpeas and lentils would both work well! 
  • Rice – Instead of regular rice, serve cauliflower rice as a low-carb alternative.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

You can definitely store the leftovers for this burrito bowl! However, we recommend storing the ingredients in separate containers. Also, if you’re storing the sliced avocado, you may want to toss it in lemon juice to prevent browning. 

To refrigerate, place the ingredients in airtight containers and store for 3-4 days. 

If you want to freeze the chicken, store it in a freezer-safe container or a resealable freezer bag for up to 3 months.

  • Shredded or chopped romaine lettuce – Romaine is the perfect base for the salad — it’s light and fresh, and it mingles well with all the other tasty ingredients.
  • Chopped pepperoncini – Spice up your salad with these zesty pepperoncini! These fiery little peppers bring the heat and add a tangy kick to every forkful.
  • Chopped parsley and basil – Say hello to our herbaceous heroes, parsley, and basil! They’re here to bring a fresh and fragrant vibe to the salad, turning up the flavor volume to eleven.
  • Pitted kalamata olives – These salty superstars are the Mediterranean mavens of our salad scene, adding a rich and briny flavor that’ll transport your taste buds to sunny shores.
  • Chopped red onion – Red onions are a bold and beautiful addition, bringing their sharp and tangy flavor to the salad. Be sure to soak them for a few minutes before adding them so that they can mellow out a little.

Master Vinaigrette: 

  • Olive oil – Olive oil is the base of the vinaigrette — it gives it a luxurious texture and a hint of Mediterranean flavor.
  • Lemon juice – Fresh lemon juice adds a burst of tangy brightness to the mix.
  • White or red wine vinegar – Vinegar gives the vinaigrette a subtle tang that balances out the other ingredients.
  • Honey – Honey smooths out any sharp flavors and gives the dressing a touch of sweetness.
  • Dijon mustard – We love how Dijon gives this dressing a touch of tangy earthiness. 
  • Cloves of garlic – Garlic adds a kick of aromatic flavor. Be sure to mince it finely and evenly before adding it to the vinaigrette.

  • Coarsely ground black pepper – Sprinkle in just a bit of spice with a dash of black pepper.

  • Maple Mustard – Trade honey for maple syrup and swap Dijon for whole grain mustard for a unique flavor profile. 
  • Greek Yogurt – Mix the vinaigrette with Greek yogurt for a tangy, creamy dressing.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

One of the best parts about this Mediterranean tuna salad is that it lasts for days which makes it perfect for meal prep! Just don’t freeze it — it will be soggy when thawed. 

Store this quick and easy salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. We recommend storing it separately from the dressing so that the greens don’t wilt or become soggy.

It’s bursting with bright citrus flavor and has the most incredible moist texture. Plus, making the batter is a breeze – just throw everything into the blender and you’re good to go!

What is Orange Blender Cake?

This cake is as easy as it is delicious. It’s like a magic trick in the kitchen – just throw all the ingredients into your trusty blender, give it a whirl, and voila! You’ve got yourself a moist, citrusy masterpiece. 

A favorite in our homes, this cake is bursting with the bright flavors of fresh oranges, thanks to using the whole fruit. It’s a lazy baker’s dream come true, with no fancy techniques or complicated steps required. Plus, the cleanup is a breeze – just rinse out the blender and you’re done!

Ingredients You Need

Orange Cake

  • Whole seedless navel orange – We’re throwing in the whole orange – zest, juicy flesh, and all! It makes this cake taste like a little burst of sunshine in every bite.
  • Eggs – Eggs are the backbone of the cake, giving it fluffiness and structure. 
  • Olive oil – Using oil instead of butter is our secret weapon for a super moist cake with a hint of fruity goodness.
  • Granulated sugar – Simple white sugar balances out the tart orange flavor.
  • Sour cream – We use sour cream to give the cake a bit of tanginess but it also makes the cake rich and moist.
  • All-purpose flour – Using this type of flour will give your cake the perfect crumb.
  • Baking powder – This leavener helps our cake rise to fluffy perfection.
  • Sea salt – This simple ingredient makes all of the flavors of the other ingredients pop.
  • Vanilla extract – Vanilla adds warmth and depth to the cake and balances out the other flavors. 

Glaze

  • Confectioners’ sugar – This stuff is like powdered magic! It gives our glaze that sweet, silky-smooth finish that’ll have you licking your fingers.
  • Orange juice – We’re squeezing in some fresh OJ for that extra zing! It’s the perfect finishing touch, tying all the citrusy flavors together.

How to Whip Up This Easy Orange Cake

Orange Cake

  1. Combine. Add the quartered navel oranges, eggs, olive oil, granulated sugar, and sour cream to a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth. 
  2. Add remaining ingredients. Place the flour, baking powder, sea salt, and vanilla extract in the blender with the orange mixture. To avoid over-mixing, use the pulse function to quickly mix the dry ingredients in until just moistened. 
  3. Bake. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and bake until the cake passes the toothpick test. 
  4. Cool. All the cake to cool briefly while still in the pan before removing it and placing it on a wire rack.
  5. Garnish. When the cake has cooled to room temperature, drizzle it with the glaze or add a dusting of powdered sugar to the top. 

Glaze

  1. Combine. Add the orange juice and powdered sugar to a small bowl and whisk together until silky smooth. 
  2. Add to cake. Drizzle, pipe, or spread the glaze over the top of the cake.

Variations

  • Citrus – Swap out the navel orange for other citrus fruits like tangerines, blood oranges, or even a mix of lemons and limes.
  • Nuts – Add a handful of chopped nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts to the batter for some extra texture and flavor.
  • Coconut – For a tropical vibe, stir in some shredded coconut.
  • Spices – Sprinkle in a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the batter for a warm and cozy flavor profile that’s perfect for chilly evenings.
  • Chocolate – Fold in some chocolate chips or chunks for a decadent treat!
  • Greek yogurt – Swap out the sour cream and use Greek yogurt instead.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

Absolutely! When storing your orange cake, try wrapping it with plastic wrap before then wrapping it with aluminum foil. This will keep it super moist. If you prefer, though, you can also store it in an airtight container.

Instead of refrigerating the cake, keep it stored at room temperature so it retains its moisture. It will stay fresh for 4-5 days if it’s been wrapped or placed in a sealed container. 

You can freeze the cake for up to 3 months — just let it thaw at room temperature.

Ingredients You Need

Below is an overview of the ingredients and instructions for this recipe. Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details! 

  • Phyllo Dough – These form the base of the recipe, creating a sort of crust, and can easily be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores. 
  • Butter – Use unsalted butter to create a golden, crisp exterior and add rich flavor to the dish. 
  • Milk – We use full-fat milk for the best taste, but any milk or dairy-free milk will work. 
  • Egg – This enhances the rich flavor and helps create a crisp crust. 
  • Granulated Sugar – Just a pinch helps balance out the tanginess of the cheese. 
  • Black Sesame Seeds – Technically optional, these add a bit of crunch and a slightly nutty taste.

Chicken Crust Pizza Recipe

Skip the takeout, and make this low-carb, high-protein chicken crust pizza recipe for a flavorful, comfort food you can feel good about!

We have to admit that we — and our families — frequently crave pizza, but sometimes we want a more nourishing version of the standard delicious indulgence. That’s why we created this easy Chicken Crust Pizza recipe that’s as satisfying as it is guilt-free!

Chicken crust pizza with three pieces sliced.

Instead of using bread, we craft a crust with hearty yet lean chicken and then top it with traditional-style sauce, tomatoes, oregano, and cheese. What we really love is that it’s so easy to customize — just like classic pizza, you can sprinkle on any of your favorite toppings from meats and veggies to anchovies and even pineapple. Yes, we know that last one’s controversial — we’ll keep it our secret!

What is Chicken Crust Pizza?

Chicken crust pizza is a tasty twist on traditional pizza, where the typical dough base is replaced with a flavorful and protein-packed chicken crust. To create this fun, protein-packed pizza, chopped chicken is mixed with various seasonings, cheeses, and herbs to form a sturdy and delicious crust. The mixture is then spread out on a baking sheet or pizza pan and baked until golden and crispy, providing a firm foundation for any number of toppings!

The result is a pizza that is not only low-carb and gluten-free but also incredibly satisfying and flavorful. Plus, with its high protein content, it’s a guilt-free indulgence that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. Whether you’re following a specific dietary plan or simply looking to switch up your pizza game, chicken crust pizza is sure to become a new favorite in your culinary repertoire.

Ingredients You Need

  • Chicken breasts – The star of the show, these provide the base for your pizza crust, ensuring a protein-packed low-carb foundation for your masterpiece. Slice them into chunks so that they can be easily blended with the other ingredients.
  • Grated parmesan cheese – This adds a savory punch and helps bind the crust together, creating a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Egg – Acting as the glue that holds everything together, the egg helps bind the ingredients, giving your crust the perfect structure and texture.
  • Dried oregano – Oregano brings that authentic pizza flavor to your crust.
  • Garlic powder – Because garlic makes everything better, right? Adding a hint of aromatic garlic powder ensures your crust is bursting with flavor from edge to edge.
  • Salt – Don’t underestimate the power of salt! It enhances all the other flavors in your crust, ensuring each bite is perfectly seasoned and oh-so-satisfying.
  • Black pepper – Black pepper adds a subtle heat that complements the other spices, giving your crust that extra depth of flavor.
  • Marinara sauce – What’s pizza without sauce? We know there are white pizzas out there, so you can definitely do that, too, but for us, slathering the chicken crust with marinara adds a welcome burst of tangy sweetness.
  • Tomato slices – Fresh, juicy, and colorful, tomato slices not only add a pop of vibrant color to your pizza but also provide a refreshing contrast to the savory flavors of the crust and cheese.
  • Additional Parmesan cheese for topping – We like to be generous with our parm on the top — can you ever have too much cheese? 
  • Additional oregano for sprinkling – A final dash of oregano adds a fragrant finish to your pizza and makes it look as good as it tastes.

How to Make This Chicken Pizza Crust Recipe

  1. Create the crust. Add the chunks of chicken, parmesan cheese, egg, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a food processor and pulse until pasty. 
  2. Form the crust. Place the chicken mixture in the prepared baking dish and stretch it into the desired shape. 
  3. Bake. Place the baking dish in the oven and cook until it is a light golden brown color. 
  4. Craft the pizza. After removing the crust from the oven, cover it with marinara sauce and tomatoes before adding the parmesan and oregano.
  5. Cook. Cook the pizza until the cheese becomes bubbly and melty.
  6. Serve. After taking the pizza out of the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve.

Variations

  • Spices – Experiment with different spices to season the chicken or sprinkle on top, like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, or crushed red pepper for a kick.
  • Cheeses – Mix in different cheeses to add flavor and texture. Try mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, or even feta for a tangy twist. A few dollops of ricotta can add some creamy goodness to the pizza, too!
  • Herbs – Fresh or dried herbs can enhance the flavor of the crust. Consider adding dried basil, thyme, or rosemary to the chicken mixture. You can also add fresh basil on top.
  • Vegetables – Incorporate finely chopped vegetables into the chicken crust for added nutrients and flavor. Experiment with spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Sauces – Spread a thin layer of your favorite sauce over the chicken crust before adding toppings. Instead of tomato sauce, try pesto, barbecue sauce, or Buffalo sauce. Or, for a white pizza, use a pastry brush to spread herb-infused olive oil over top.
  • Toppings – Get creative with your pizza toppings! Choose from classic options like sliced tomatoes, olives, onions, and mushrooms, or try unique combinations like pineapple and jalapenos, or fig and prosciutto.
  • Seasonal Ingredients – Tailor your pizza crust to the season by using seasonal ingredients. For example, add roasted butternut squash and sage in the fall, or fresh corn and cherry tomatoes in the summer.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

You can definitely store the leftovers! We don’t recommend freezing because the cheese will not retain the same consistency when it thaws, but you can refrigerate it. 

Place the leftover chicken crust pizza in a resealable bag or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in intervals in the microwave, or in the oven.

The Easy Way to Make Broccoli Fritters That Are Super Cheesy

  1. Prepare the broccoli. Place florets in a steamer for several minutes, then drain and dice into small pieces. 
  2. Combine with other ingredients. Add the broccoli to a large mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients and toss until well combined. 
  3. Make the fritters. Add the mixture to a heated and prepared skillet in spoonfuls. Flatten the mixture to form a patty. 
  4. Fry. Cook until crispy and browned on each side before transferring to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  5. Serve. Place on a serving plate alongside your favorite dips

Variations

  • Spiciness – Add diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the batter for a fiery twist. Top with a dollop of sriracha mayo for extra heat!
  • Italian-Inspired – Swap the oregano for Italian seasoning and mix in some diced sun-dried tomatoes and chopped fresh basil. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
  • Tex-Mex Twist – Add chopped green chilies, corn kernels, and a dash of cumin to the batter. Serve with avocado crema and salsa for a south-of-the-border flair.
  • Mushrooms – Sauté chopped mushrooms with garlic and thyme until golden brown, then mix into the batter. Top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving.
  • Greek-Inspired – Swap the cheddar and mozzarella for crumbled feta cheese and add chopped spinach and diced roasted red peppers to the batter. Serve with tzatziki sauce for dipping.
  • Buffalo Flavor – Mix in buffalo sauce and crumbled blue cheese to the batter for a tangy, spicy kick. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

We think these are best snacked on when fresh, but if you need to store them, you can! 

To refrigerate, just place these in an airtight container for 3-4 days. 

Freeze the fritters for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. You can also store them in resealable freezer bags — just separate them with parchment paper

Pull Apart Olive Bread Recipe

Upgrade your bread with this easy pull-apart feta olive bread for a flavorful appetizer or side dish to pair with all your favorite recipes!

This Pull Apart Olive Bread recipe is all about taking ordinary dough and transforming it into something extraordinary with just a handful of flavorful ingredients.

It’s like a work of art!

But here’s the real kicker: thanks to our genius hack, you don’t need any fancy knife skills to enjoy this bread. Just grab a piece and pull—it’s that easy! Whether you’re snacking solo or hosting a gathering, this bread is guaranteed to steal the show.

What is Olive Bread?

Simple pre-made, unbaked rolls are the secret to making this a super quick and easy recipe for pull-apart bread. Then, nestled between the pillowy pockets of dough are briny Kalamata and green olives and bright sun-dried tomatoes to impart layers of flavor. Crumbled feta cheese adds its creamy saltiness to the top and oregano adds just the right amount of herbaceous flavor and fragrance.

As the bread bakes, the dough rises, the cheese melts, and the flavors mingle and meld into the most incredibly delicious bread! And since we use rolls to make the pull-apart bread, once it’s ready, you just tear off a piece. No knife needed!


Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, this bread has the perfect texture while also packing a punch of flavor. Snack on it all on its own or serve it with dipping oil, marinara, whipped feta, or your favorite dip.

Ingredients You Need

  • Unbaked dinner rolls – These little doughy balls are the building blocks of our pull-apart olive bread adventure. Buying dough that’s already made saves tons of time!
  • Sliced Kalamata olives – These tangy, briny slices add a burst of Mediterranean flavor to every bite.
  • Green olives – These add a slightly milder taste compared to their Kalamata counterparts, balancing out the flavor in the bread.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes – These chewy nuggets of concentrated tomato goodness add an irresistible sweet and savory kick and a bright pop of color.
  • Crumbled feta cheese – Feta adds a creamy, salty richness that takes this bread to the next level.
  • Dried oregano – A sprinkle of this fragrant herb brings a hint of earthy freshness to our bread and gives it that unmistakable Mediterranean flair.
  • Olive oil – Olive oil adds moisture and richness making each bite perfectly tender and flavorful. Plus, it gives the bread a gorgeous golden crust!
  • Non-stick cooking spray – A quick spritz of non-stick cooking spray ensures our bread pops out of the pan easily, so you can dive right in and devour the olive-y goodness once it’s had a few minutes to cool!

Easy Steps to Make Olive Bread

  1. Combine bread, tomatoes, and olives. Add the rolls to the prepared loaf pan and with the dry kalamata olives, green olives, and sun-dried tomatoes.
  2. Cover. Place plastic wrap over the pan and let the loaf rise. 
  3. Add remaining ingredients. Crumble feta cheese over the top of the bread and evenly shake the oregano over top. Then, add the olive oil. 
  4. Bake. Place the pan in the oven and bake until it is fully cooked and golden brown. 
  5. Serve. Once you remove the pan from the oven, allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before serving it warm.

Variations

  • Veggies – Swap some or all of the olives for roasted red peppers and artichoke hearts.
  • Herbs – Add a sprinkle of basil or other dried herbs for a fresh twist.
  • Italian – Trade the olives for chopped pepperoni and black olives, and throw in some diced red bell peppers, Italian seasoning, and shredded mozzarella cheese for an Italian version.
  • Heat – Add sliced jalapeños or banana peppers for a spicy kick. Or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
  • Mushrooms – Replace some or all of the olives with sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions. 
  • Cheese – Swap out the feta for Swiss, Monterey Jack, goat cheese, or cheddar.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

Yes, you can definitely store leftovers — if you have any! But keep in mind that while typical baked bread can be stored on the counter, this version has cheese so it will need to be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. 

To refrigerate the bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it for 3-4 days. To reheat it, just microwave it in intervals until it reaches the temperature you want.

You can freeze this bread for up to 3 months but keep in mind that the feta may not have exactly the same texture when it thaws. To defrost frozen bread, place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours before you intend to reheat it.
