Pepperoni & Cheese Pull Apart Bread

by Donya Mullins 2 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

Jump to Recipe

The conversation started like this…”Mom, remember that time you made that really good bread that had cheese on it”? My answer was, yes, but I make lots of different kinds of bread with cheese.
I really had no idea what my boy was talking about. Of course, being the smart, tenacious young man that he is, he was NOT going to let it go. So, our talk continued with him using very descriptive words and phrases, adding in some hand gestures trying to help me remember what I’d made all those months ago. We ended up laughing so hard we had tears rolling down our faces and then it happened…I remembered! At that point, I had to add in a famous Mom comment – “well, why didn’t you say that in the first place”! We laughed again and he rolled his eyes. After all of that, I had to honor his request for the pull apart bread so I headed to the store for supplies, smiling all the way. Sharing times like that with my boy makes me unbelievably happy and my heart overflowing with joy.
