foodie fridays: leftover thanksgiving pizza pull-apart bread
“Transform Thanksgiving leftovers into a culinary masterpiece with our Leftover Thanksgiving Pizza Pull-Apart Bread. Each bite is a delightful fusion of holiday flavors, creating a unique and satisfying twist on tradition.”
Leftovers.
Growing up, eating leftovers was almost a bigger deal than the big turkey feast. I remember my brothers fighting over the last slice of canned cranberry. Can someone please explain the infatuation with this jellied-quasi-bitter-sold-slinky-look-alike? Maybe it’s a dude thing? I dunno.
My palate is pretty simple when it comes to leftovers – a slice of turkey on some buttery bread with a dollop of mayo and I’m a happy girl. If I feel like getting wild, a sunny-side up egg might make an appearance along with some bacon. But overall, I keep it simple. Why not? Leftovers is all about the ease. And ease should taste good.
But if you want to kick up your leftovers, I have the perfect solution. Since it’s the holidays, why not commit to carbs? My stretchy pants and I won’t tell. I thought pizza would be a fun and easy way to incorporate leftovers, but not just any pizza, a pull-apart pizza, yo.
I’ve never made a pull-apart bread before and the thought of kneading dough the day after Thanksgiving sounded like a major no-no. So, the pizza ready to-go version felt like the right decision. The base of this pizza is a simple white sauce topped with turkey and your standard stuffing ingredients – carrot, onion, and celery. Really you can you use whatever toppings you like, thus the beauty of a blank carb canvas.
So, make this pull-apart pizza and I will leave the choice of cranberry up to you!

Leftovers are the best part of Thanksgiving! This bread is pure leftover perfection!! I’d love to sneak some cranberries and maybe some shredded sprouts in here.
Me too! Love this!!
Best use of leftovers ever!
Thanks, Chung-Ah! I hope you are having a great weekend!
My sister and I are both a little confused about the cutting and stacking.. How do you keep it all on the bread if you cut it after you put the sauce and topping on it? do you roll it up and then cut it?
Hi Mary! Great question. Since I adapted the recipe from Rachel Ray, I watched the video to get a better understanding on how to make the pizza. Here is the link: http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/recipe/12869_Buffalo_Pizza_Pull_Bread/index.html Let me know if you have any questions!!
So much goodness in this!
Thanks, Katrina!
