Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 oz / 226 g)
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (100150 g)
  • 2025 pepperoni slices
  • ½ cup marinara or pizza sauce (120 ml), plus extra for dipping
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (15 g), optional
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning or oregano
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • Optional add-ins: minced garlic, red pepper flakes, fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Open the biscuit dough can and separate into individual biscuits (usually 8). Tear each biscuit into 3-4 smaller pieces.
  3. Mix the torn biscuit pieces with Italian seasoning and olive oil or melted butter.
  4. Prepare filling by placing shredded mozzarella and pepperoni slices nearby. Mix in any optional add-ins now.
  5. Take a small handful of dough pieces and flatten into a 2-3 inch (5-7 cm) circle in your palm. Add a teaspoon of marinara sauce, a pinch of cheese, and 2-3 pepperoni slices in the center.
  6. Fold the dough around the filling and pinch edges to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  7. Repeat until you have about 16-20 bites.
  8. Brush tops with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top if using.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool 3-5 minutes before serving with extra warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Do not overfill bites to prevent leaking. Use cold biscuit dough for easier shaping. Brush with olive oil or butter for a golden crust. Check baking time closely to avoid burning. Can freeze baked bites and reheat from frozen.
