Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings:
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
Sauce:
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F, preparing a standard baking sheet with light cooking spray or parchment paper.
- Gently press each biscuit dough into a thin, circular shape using fingertips, creating a smooth surface for filling.
- Carefully spread a small dollop of pizza sauce in the center of each flattened biscuit, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Distribute shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, ensuring balanced coverage.
- Layer pepperoni slices and chopped olives on top of the cheese, creating a compact filling.
- Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, using gentle pinching motions to create a secure seal and prevent leakage.
- Arrange the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow even cooking.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that indicates crispy, cooked dough.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning, then serve immediately while warm and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Customize toppings by swapping pepperoni for ham, bacon, or vegetarian alternatives like mushrooms and bell peppers.
- Prevent filling from leaking by ensuring edges are tightly sealed and not overstuffed with ingredients.
- Enhance flavor by brushing biscuit tops with garlic butter or sprinkling Italian herbs before baking for extra zest.
- Make gluten-free by using gluten-free biscuit dough and checking that all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
