Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 2 (16-ounce) cans refrigerated biscuit dough
Cheese Mixture:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Pepperoni:
- 1 cup mini pepperoni or chopped pepperoni
Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
For Serving:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan or 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the dough: Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a large bowl, combine the biscuit pieces, mozzarella, pepperoni, and Parmesan.
