Ingredients You’ll Need
1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
This dough is the cornerstone of bubble pizza, offering a soft, fluffy base that pulls apart easily. For a homemade option, you could substitute with your favorite pizza dough, but store-bought makes this dish a breeze.1 jar (8 ounces) pizza sauce
Look for a good quality pizza sauce that complements the flavors well. You can also swap it out for marinara or any other pasta sauce if you’re in a pinch.1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
This blend of herbs infuses the dish with classic pizza flavors, enhancing the overall taste. Feel free to use fresh herbs for an aromatic twist or adjust based on your preference.2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
Mozzarella is essential for that gooey, melty texture. You can mix it with cheddar or provolone for added flavor; just avoid using pre-shredded cheese as it might not melt as beautifully.¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
Parmesan adds a salty, nutty flavor that elevates the dish. If you’re out, any hard cheese will work as a substitute.½ cup quartered pepperoni
A classic pizza topping, pepperoni provides that savory bite. For a more health-conscious option, try turkey pepperoni, or skip it altogether for a meat-free version.
How to Make Bubble Pizza
Prepare and Preheat: Start by greasing a 9×9 square baking dish. Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure that it’s ready for baking.
Cut Biscuits: Using kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit from the can into quarters. This step is crucial as it creates those bubbly, pull-apart pieces that are so fun to eat.
Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the pizza sauce and Italian seasoning. Stir well before adding the cut biscuit pieces, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and ½ cup of quartered pepperoni. Make sure each biscuit piece is coated with the sauce mixture. Pour this into your prepared baking dish.
Top It Off: Be generous! Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella, the grated parmesan, and any extra pepperoni on top. If you like, you can also add some fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 – 25 minutes. The cheese should be melted, bubbling, and turning a lovely golden brown.
Storing & Reheating
To store bubble pizza, allow it to cool completely before placing it in a sealed container. It can stay at room temperature for about 2 hours, but ideally, refrigerate it if not consumed. In the fridge, it’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. To reheat, place slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10–15 minutes or until warmed through. The cheese may lose some initial creaminess, but it can be revived with a quick reheat.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- If you want extra crispy edges, bake the bubble pizza in a well-oiled dish or use a cast-iron skillet.
- For that truly bubbly effect, let the biscuits sit for a few minutes after you’ve cut them, allowing them to rise slightly before baking.
- Experiment with different toppings like bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms for each family member’s preference.
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated before putting in the dish; this helps achieve that gorgeous melted cheese.
Every corner of bubble pizza brings its own delight, and finding the perfect mixture of toppings can turn this recipe into your signature dish!
