For the Bread:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices, chopped or whole
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
For the Garlic Butter:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a bundt pan or loaf pan well with cooking spray or butter.
Prepare the Dough:
Cut biscuit dough into quarters (or divide pizza dough into small pieces).
In a large mixing bowl, combine dough pieces, mozzarella, pepperoni, and Parmesan cheese.
Make Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Pour over the dough mixture and toss everything until well coated.
Assemble and Bake:
Transfer the coated dough mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate.
Serve:
Sprinkle with chopped parsley (optional) and serve warm.
Pair with marinara or ranch dip for extra flavor.
Recipe Notes :
Use mini pepperoni for easier layering, or chop regular slices.
Add extras like chopped olives, jalapeños, or cooked sausage for variety.
For a homemade touch, use your own pizza dough.
Best enjoyed fresh and warm, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven.
