Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated homestyle biscuit dough (16 oz total)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1 cup pizza sauce or marinara
30 slices pepperoni
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Fresh parsley or basil (optional, for garnish)
Optional toppings: cooked sausage, sautéed mushrooms, diced bell peppers, black olives, red onions
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cut biscuit dough into 1-inch pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir to coat all the biscuit pieces.
4. Mix in mozzarella, cheddar (if using), and half the pepperoni. Add other toppings as desired.
5. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and spread evenly. Top with remaining pepperoni.
6. Brush with olive oil or butter if desired.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbly. Check doneness with a toothpick.
8. Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness (optional).
9. Let cool for 5 minutes, garnish with herbs, and serve warm.
Notes
Always use homestyle biscuit dough (not flaky layers) for best texture.
Avoid overloading with toppings to prevent sogginess.
Broil at the end for 2–3 minutes to achieve a crisp, golden top.
