This delightful recipe draws inspiration from the Pillsbury website, transforming a simple ring of dough into a cheesy, pepperoni-filled masterpiece. While the original version called for Grands biscuits, I knew I could elevate it further with flavors like garlic, Asiago cheese, and gooey mozzarella. It’s a creamy, melty creation that will have you forgetting about those pesky calories.
For my dough, I turned to a local pizza place called Joe’s Pizzeria. Their pizza crust is simply unbeatable. At just $1.99 for a 20-ounce dough ball, making my own was out of the question—who has the time? So, I happily grabbed two dough balls and headed home. Once there, I divided the dough into small pieces, stuffed them with pepperoni and cubes of mozzarella, and rolled them into balls.
Next, I coated a pan with olive oil, a generous amount of garlic, and oregano—oh, and let’s not forget the shredded Asiago cheese. You can certainly swap in Parmesan or any hard cheese you prefer, but I have a serious crush on Asiago. Have you tried those Asiago bagels from Panera? They’re a total obsession of mine.
I layered the stuffed dough balls in the pan, sprinkling more fresh shredded Asiago and a few extra shakes of oregano for good measure. Trust me, in about 45 minutes, your family will be glued to the oven, eagerly anticipating the delicious aroma wafting through the air. And when you pull it out, prepare for hugs and compliments. Are you still with me, or did you rush off to snag some pizza dough? This dish is ooey, gooey, garlicky, and packed with flavor.
