Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a 5×5-inch baking dish with oil spray.
  • Open the tube of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the pieces in a zip-top bag or large bowl. Add the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and dried basil, then shake or stir until evenly coated.
  • Arrange half of the seasoned biscuit pieces in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
  • Spoon some of the tomato sauce over the dough and sprinkle with the chopped pepperoni.
  • Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Top with the remaining biscuit pieces, then finish with more tomato sauce and the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through.

Notes

  • Coat the Biscuits Evenly: Toss the biscuit pieces with olive oil, Parmesan, and basil in a zip-top bag or bowl so every piece is seasoned before layering.
  • Grease the Baking Dish: Lightly coat the baking dish with oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
  • Cut Pepperoni into Small Pieces: Chopping the pepperoni helps distribute it evenly so you get pizza flavor in every bite.
  • Watch the Bake Time: Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
 
If doubling the recipe bake in a 6x8 inch baking dish.
