Pizza Bubble Ring Recipe

I'm a huge fan of pull-apart food and here's a recipe to add to my "pull-apart recipe list."  Looks like it's going to be my 5th pizza post in honor of National Pizza Week too.


Now let's talk about the recipe....
Like I mentioned above, I'm crazy about pull-apart foods. I think they're so much fun to make and just as much fun to pull apart and eat too. My experience with pull-apart food is that you have to eat it as soon as it comes out of the oven. It always pulls apart better and it's always ooie and gooier too. Especially when it's made with mozzarella cheese like this recipe. We all know how any recipe made with stringy and stretchy mozzarella cheese is always better HOT.

INGREDIENTS

• 6 to 8 tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cans (12 oz each) Pillsbury® Golden Layers® refrigerated original biscuits
• 40 small slices pepperoni (about 3 oz)
• 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 20 pieces
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/4 cups pizza sauce, heated

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube pan with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. In small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.

2. Separate 1 can of dough into 10 biscuits; press or roll each into 3-inch round. Place 2 pepperoni slices in center of each biscuit round. Top each with piece of mozzarella cheese. Bring dough up around filling; press edge to seal and shape each into ball. Roll in butter mixture; place 10 balls in pan.

3. Sprinkle dough balls with Parmesan cheese. Repeat with remaining can of biscuits, placing balls over balls in pan. Pour remaining butter mixture over top.

4. Bake 33 to 38 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Gently loosen bread from sides of pan. Place large heatproof plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan. Serve warm with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
