Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup mini pepperoni or chopped regular pepperoni
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Serving:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan thoroughly with nonstick spray or butter.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the biscuit dough pieces, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Fill the pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared Bundt pan, pressing gently to compact slightly.

- Serve: Let cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can customize with other toppings like cooked sausage, bell peppers, or black olives.
