SmartLid Pull Apart Pizza Bread

These mozzarella and pepperoni packed pull apart pizza rolls are delicious. Serve warm so the mozzarella oozes out with every bite.

We used the Ninja Foodi Smart Lid as it has a prove function and a fantastic steam crisp cooking function but you could adapt and do this in an oven.

If you wanted a vegetarian version just omit the pepperoni. You can also add things like olives, sun-dried tomatoes etc.
