Ingredients
Scale
Dough & Cheese
- 2 cans (16 oz total) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Pepperoni & Seasoning
- ½ cup mini pepperoni or chopped slices
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Butter & Prep
- ¼ cup melted butter
- Cooking spray (for greasing pan)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a bundt or loaf pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Toss Ingredients Together: In a large bowl, combine the biscuit dough pieces with melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, mini pepperoni, shredded mozzarella, and grated parmesan. Mix well to coat every piece evenly with flavor.
- Layer and Press: Transfer the biscuit mixture to the prepared pan in layers, gently pressing down as you go to help the pieces stick together and fill the pan evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly throughout.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm, pulling apart pieces to enjoy all the cheesy, pepperoni goodness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or chopped fresh basil before baking.
- This bread is best eaten warm, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
- Try serving with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
- You can substitute turkey pepperoni or use vegetarian alternatives if desired.
