Makes 12 servings
8 ounces pre-shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)
1 (5-ounce) package pepperoni slices, cut into quarters
3 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about ¾ cup), plus more for garnish
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons oregano
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons grated fresh garlic
2 (16-ounce) cans refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup jarred marinara sauce, warmed
Instructions: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Stir together mozzarella, pepperoni, Parmesan, basil, parsley, and oregano in a large bowl. Combine oil and garlic in a small bowl and drizzle over cheese mixture. Cut biscuits into quarters. Add dough pieces to cheese mixture, and toss gently to coat. Transfer mixture to a lightly greased nonstick Bundt pan and bake in until top is golden and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Let bread rest in pan about 5 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and garnish with additional Parmesan and herbs. Serve with marinara sauce.
