OK...I know it seems like I'm stuck in a rut...a rut of pepperoni pizza snacks and appetizers...I mean first the pepperoni pizza crescent roll-ups, then the pepperoni pizza puffs, and now this pizza bubble bread...I guess there are much worse ruts to be in!
I made this for a snack the other day...but it really turned into something much more than a snack...more like a major PIG OUT!
So you start with two cans of Grands Jr...the little ones...
Then you flatten the biscuits...top with pepperoni slices and a cube of mozzarella
Then rolls into balls and dip in butter...yum!
And then into the bundt pan...
Pizza Bubble Bread
adapted from Pillsbury
8 tbs butter, melted (1 stick)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2- 12 oz cans Pillsbury Grands Jr. refrigerated biscuits
40 slices of pepperoni
8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 20 pieces
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/4 cups pizza sauce, heated, for serving
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with non-stick spray. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Separate 1 can of dough into 10 biscuits; press into a 3-inch round. Place 2 slices of pepperoni in the center of each biscuit. Top each with a piece of mozzarella cheese. Bring the dough up around the filling; press the edges to seal and shape each into a ball. Roll in the butter mixture. Place 10 balls in the pan. Sprinkle the dough balls with Parmesan cheese. Repeat with the remaining can of biscuits and place them over the balls in the pan. Pour remaining butter mixture over the top. Bake 33 to 38 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Gently loosen from the sides of the pan and invert onto a plate. Serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping.
Honestly...It's not just a pizza rut I've been in...it's an appetizer/junk food rut. But today something arrived in the mail that is going to help me out of it...the Joy the Baker Cookbook...hot of the presses...you can't even buy it yet. Me and a group of twenty-something other bloggers will be cooking from it over the next few weeks...so I'm swapping the junk food for sugar and buttercream...great swap huh? But, more on that later...
Really, I gained three pounds looking at those...and I don't care one bit. YUM! :)
ReplyDeletekind of like a savory monkey bread? looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteYikes, I don't mind the rut...come over and pull me into it too LOL
ReplyDeleteI am so making this!!! My son is coming to town and he would love this...yum for pepperoni!
Yum...not sure if I like the bread stuffed with cheese and pepperoni or the bread rolled in melted butter better! Sounds soooo good.
ReplyDeleteI go through phases like that, too...and I could totally use some of that beautiful bread right now. I love seeing that book on the screen...so exciting!
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me regardless what the scales say afterwards :) Diane
ReplyDeleteI love this bread, it's so easy to eat, just pull them out one by one, yum! Looking forward to your bakes from that lovely cookbook!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and Joy's too. Cannot wait for her new cookbook. Your recipes are great! Thank you
ReplyDeleteI like your rut! The only problem is that my "Must Try" list just keeps getting longer!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha, pizza again but who doesn't love the delicious flavor of pizza or pizza bread. These sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what your make from your new cookbook.
Chris was just saying how we don't get enough pepperoni in our diet!! I love pepperoni and this recipe sounds delicious!! We'll be trying this one soon!
ReplyDeleteThat's so neat to be able to cook through Joys book. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI feel the need to express my appreciation for your recent pizza/junk food posts. I like your other creations, too, but I've felt like I'm in the same rut and your appetizer posts are great.
Sounds like my Grandson will really like this one Bo. Thanks for sharing. Here's one for you...
ReplyDeleteCrescent Pepperoni Roll-ups
1 can refrigerated Crescent rolls
40 slices pepperoni (turkey pepperoni healthier)
4 pieces of mozzarella string cheese, cut in half
Garlic powder
Pizza sauce
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Unroll Crescent rolls and separate into 8 triangles. Place 5 slices of pepperoni on each crescent roll. Top pepperoni with string cheese half and roll up. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Place rolls on ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with a side of warm pizza sauce.
