Ingredients
- 2 cans 16 oz total refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup mini pepperoni or chopped pepperoni
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1½ cups marinara or pizza sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or 9x13-inch baking dish generously.
- Cut biscuit dough into quarters and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Add mozzarella, pepperoni, Parmesan, garlic, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and melted butter. Toss until evenly coated.
- Transfer the dough mixture into the greased pan, pressing gently to pack it in.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is deeply golden and the center is cooked through.
- Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before carefully inverting onto a serving plate if using a bundt pan.
- Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For a crispier finish, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top before baking.
- No bundt pan? A loaf pan or casserole dish works too — just adjust baking time as needed.
- Make it vegetarian by skipping the pepperoni and adding mushrooms or olives.
- Want to prep ahead? Assemble in the pan and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
