(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series)
Before you go all crazy telling me what a great idea this is, let me apologize. I did not make this recipe up. I saw this recipe for Buffalo Chicken Pull-Apart Bread from Bev Cooks on Pinterest, and knew I had to try it out for myself, with a few adaptations to suit my tastes and make it easier.
This is basically buffalo chicken pizza in a loaf… a loaf of bread you can pull apart and eat. And share. Or not.
If you’re hosting a Super Bowl party, you should definitely share this, though. Don’t make everyone else sick with envy. That’s just cruel.
I will warn you that the inside stays just a bit doughy due to the moisture in the buffalo chicken, so you have to make sure to cook it until the top begins to brown. Those crunchy parts taste good, too. Don’t worry.
You can make a million variations of this recipe, so feel free to switch it up. Maybe you want to make pull apart herbed butter bread, or pull apart garlic bread, or maybe even jalapeno cheddar bread. The possibilities are endless.
- 3 tubes Pillsbury Recipe Creations Seamless Dough
- 1½ cups Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken (click to open recipe in a new tab)
- ½ cup colby-jack cheese, shredded
- ⅓ cup scallions, chopped
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Unroll each tube of Pillsbury dough and cut each into 8 even rectangles (slicing once lengthwise and three times along the width).
- Using a spoon, spread a thin layer the Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken on each rectangle. Don’t overdo it, or the bread will not cook on the inside.
- Sprinkle each rectangle with cheese and scallions.
- Use a spatula to stack the rectangles in fours.
- Spray a mini loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and prop it up vertically by placing something behind it. I used a can of soup.
- Stack all of the buffalo chicken rectangles into your baking dish. Push down lightly on the tops of the stacks as you add more.
- Sit the pan horizontally (the way it should be, normally) and sprinkle with extra cheese and scallions, if you’d like.
- Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until top begins to brown.
- Let cool for 20 minutes in the pan before removing and serving.
A-MA-ZING! Can’t wait to try this!
Let me know what you think of it after you make it =)
These things sound delicious. Can’t wait to try them.
I can’t find the recipe creations dough!
I even checked the website and it looks like they’re not carried anywhere in my area. Is there something else I could use? I really don’t want to break down and make my own dough! Haha
Jenilynn,
I don’t want to tell you that anything will definitely work, because if I haven’t made it that way, I don’t want to guarantee anything. However, I think that other Pillsbury products might work… Maybe the breadstick/pizza dough one? That would have to be my best bet without trying it myself!
Let me know what you wind up using and how it turns out!
Hi Morgan! I used the regular crescent rolls, I kind of stretched them out by rectangles and cut them in half to make them more square. Well it worked like a charm! I can’t tell you how fun and easy this was to make with my 4 year old daughter. Definitely going to re-run this for Superbowl. I am really pleased! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad to hear that worked for you, Jenilynn! Thanks for the tip for other readers, your method sounds perfect. Also, it’s great to hear that you could turn this recipe into a fun activity for you and your daughter =)
So good!! I made this for a work party and it turned out amazing. It was gone in a few minutes haha (:
