Ingredients

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 cans (16.3 ounces each) large refrigerated flaky biscuits
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

• Additional marinara sauce, warmed

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix oil, Italian seasoning, garlic and pepper flakes; microwave, covered, on high for 30 seconds. Uncover and cool slightly. Cut each biscuit into four pieces; transfer to oil mixture and toss to coat. Stir in cheese and pepperoni.

In a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan, layer half of the biscuit mixture; drizzle with 1/4 cup marinara sauce. Repeat layers. Bake 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool in pan 10 minutes. Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Serve with additional marinara sauce.
