Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough if preferred)
- 1 cup pepperoni (or your choice of pizza toppings)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
-
Preheat and Prepare the Dough:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan or round cake pan with olive oil. Cut the biscuit dough into quarters or roll out pizza dough and cut it into bite-sized pieces. -
Assemble the Layers:
In a large bowl, combine dough pieces, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss until everything is evenly coated with cheese and seasoning. -
Layer in the Pan:
Drizzle a little olive oil in the pan, then layer the dough mixture in the pan, adding layers until everything is used up. Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the top. -
Bake Until Golden:
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is puffed up, golden, and crispy. The cheese should be bubbling. If the top gets too brown, loosely cover with foil and continue baking. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Let it cool slightly, flip it out of the pan, and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For extra cheese, add more mozzarella or use a blend of Italian cheeses.
- To make crispy edges, drizzle garlic butter over the top before baking.
- If you want more pull-apart action, cut the dough into smaller pieces.
