1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded Use low-moisture mozzarella for best melts.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray.
In a small skillet, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat until it foams, then add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Mixing

In a large bowl, combine the biscuit dough quarters, garlic butter, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, mini pepperoni, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan.
Toss until all pieces are well coated.

Baking

Layer the mixed dough pieces into the greased bundt pan, leaving space at the top for rising.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly; check the center with a toothpick for doneness.

Cooling and Serving

Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
Serve warm with heated marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Serve directly from the pan for a fun, communal snack. Consider variations like adding vegetables or using different cheeses.
