👩‍🍳 Instructions (Step-by-Step)

🧈 Step 1: Prepare Your Pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Generously grease a Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Make sure to coat all ridges so nothing sticks.


🍞 Step 2: Cut the Dough

Separate biscuit dough (or pizza dough).

Cut each piece into bite-sized chunks (about 1–1.5 inches).

Place all dough pieces into a large bowl.


🧄 Step 3: Flavor the Dough

Pour melted butter over dough pieces.

Add:

  • Garlic powder
  • Italian seasoning
  • Onion powder
  • Salt

Toss gently until evenly coated.


🍕 Step 4: Add Pizza Goodness

Now mix in:

  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Pepperoni slices
  • ½ cup marinara sauce

Mix lightly so everything is evenly distributed but not smashed.


🧁 Step 5: Assemble in Bundt Pan

Layer mixture into prepared Bundt pan.

Press down gently so it fills evenly.

Sprinkle a little extra cheese and pepperoni on top for a golden crust.


🔥 Step 6: Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for:

⏱ 25–35 minutes

It’s ready when:

  • Top is golden brown
  • Cheese is melted and bubbly
  • Dough is fully cooked inside

If browning too fast, cover loosely with foil.


⏳ Step 7: Rest & Flip

Let cool for 5–10 minutes.

Place a plate over the pan and carefully flip.

Lift pan slowly to reveal the beautiful pizza ring.


🍅 Step 8: Serve

Place a small bowl of warm marinara in the center.
