Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (typically 8 biscuits), quarter each piece
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, packed lightly
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices (mini or regular sliced in half)
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (unsalted or salted)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce, warmed, for dipping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Cut each biscuit into quarters and place the pieces in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Pour the melted butter over the biscuit pieces. Add the shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and dried Italian herbs. Toss gently until the pieces are evenly coated and the cheese is distributed.
Baking
  1. Layer the coated biscuit pieces into the bundt pan, packing them lightly but not squashing them.
  2. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through. Start checking at 25 minutes.
  3. Cool the bundt pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes to let the center set. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping. Tear or pull apart pieces and dip into the sauce.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace pepperoni with sliced olives, roasted red peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for best texture.
