You can change up the flavors of the butter sauce by adding different herbs and seasonings. Make it your own!Make it Sweet: Do you love dessert pizza?

In the Refrigerator: Pull apart bread is best eaten within 24 hours, but it can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator stored in an airtight container. When you reheat the bread, use the oven or a toaster oven. The microwave can make the bread hard.
