Description

A savory, pull-apart bread loaded with pepperoni, mozzarella, and Italian seasoning, baked to golden perfection and served with marinara sauce for dipping.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuits, cut into quarters
  • 5 oz mini pepperoni
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 12 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. Prepare Coating: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and chopped parsley.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the quartered biscuits, mini pepperoni, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan to the bowl. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly with the butter mixture.
  4. Assemble in Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared bundt pan, pressing down gently to ensure even distribution.
  5. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, covering with foil halfway through if needed to prevent over-browning.
  6. Serve: Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
  • If mini pepperoni is unavailable, regular-sized pepperoni can be used; chop them into smaller pieces if desired.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
