Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough: This is the base of your Bubble Pizza, providing that fluffy, pull-apart texture. You can substitute crescent roll dough if you’re looking for something different.
• 1 jar (8 ounces) pizza sauce: You’ll want a flavorful pizza sauce to infuse the biscuits with delicious taste. Homemade sauce can also elevate the dish.
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning: This adds a burst of flavor; however, feel free to switch it with your favorite herbs like oregano or basil.
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded: The gooey, melty cheese is essential. Opt for fresh mozzarella for a richer taste, or use a dairy-free alternative if needed.
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated: This adds a sharp, nutty flavor that complements the mozzarella beautifully.
• ½ cup quartered pepperoni: Classic and loved by many, pepperoni enhances the dish’s heartiness. You can replace it with turkey pepperoni or omit it for a veggie version.

How to Make Bubble Pizza

1. Prepare and Preheat: Grease a 9×9 square baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Set your oven to 375°F.
2. Cut Biscuits: Using a pair of kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. This makes them easy to coat in sauce and results in fun bite-sized pieces.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the pizza sauce and Italian seasoning. Stir well. Then, add the cut biscuit pieces, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and ½ cup quartered pepperoni. Ensure all the biscuits are well-coated in the sauce mixture, then pour everything into your prepared baking dish.
4. Top: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan on top. Feel free to add more quartered pepperoni for extra flavor, and if you have basil or parsley on hand, throw some on as well for a pop of color.
5. Bake: Bake in your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the cheese is melted, bubbly, and has that lovely golden-brown hue.

Storing & Reheating

To store any leftovers, allow the Bubble Pizza to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. You can keep it at room temperature for a few hours or refrigerate it for up to 3 days. For freezing, cover it tightly and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, just pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 to 15 minutes until warmed through. The cheese might not be as gooey as fresh, but reheating will refresh the flavors nicely.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

• Ensure your biscuit dough is cold for the fluffiest texture; this trick really makes a difference.
• If you want a little kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or some diced bell peppers to the mix.
• Avoid overcrowding the baking dish, which might prevent your biscuits from baking evenly.
• Experiment with different cheeses; a blend of mozzarella and cheddar can add a new twist.
• If you want to prepare in advance, you can mix the ingredients the day before and store them in the fridge, baking right before serving.

Bubble Pizza shines not just in its flavors but also in its simplicity and adaptability. This dish is a beautiful way to gather around the table and create lasting memories with family and friends. There’s something incredibly comforting about a hearty dish that invites you to pull it apart and savor each mouthful. Get creative with toppings, or stick to the classic mix—either way, you’re bound to love it!
