🧾 Ingredient Stack (Built for Flavor, Not Just Filling)

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp cold butter (cubed)
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
🍕 Filling (Where It Pops)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- ½ cup mini pepperoni slices
- ¼ cup pizza sauce (thick, not watery)

- 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- Pinch of salt
👨🍳 Build Process (Clean + Foolproof)
1️⃣ Dough Setup
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in cold butter until mixture looks crumbly.
Pour in buttermilk and gently mix — don’t overwork it.
You want a soft dough, slightly sticky but manageable.
2️⃣ Roll + Fill
Roll dough into a rectangle (medium thickness).
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce.
Add mozzarella, pepperoni, oregano, and chili flakes.
3️⃣ Shape the Biscuits
Roll the dough like a log (similar to cinnamon rolls).
Slice into small rounds and place in a greased baking tray or muffin pan.
👉 Keep slight space between each piece — they expand.
4️⃣ Bake It Right
- Oven: 375°F (190°C)
- Time: 18–22 minutes
Bake until tops turn golden and cheese starts bubbling out the sides.
5️⃣ Final Flavor Hit
Mix melted butter + garlic + parsley.
Brush over hot biscuits right after baking.
👉 This step takes them from “good” to “no leftovers.”
🔥 Texture Check (Know You Nailed It)
- Outside → golden + lightly crisp
- Inside → soft, fluffy layers
- Center → gooey cheese + pepperoni
If cheese stretches when you pull one apart… you did it right.
💡 Insider Moves (Make It Next-Level)
- Use thick pizza sauce to avoid soggy dough
- Chill dough 10 minutes before rolling (easier handling)
- Add a little cheddar for sharper flavor
- Sprinkle parmesan on top before baking
- Don’t overfill — balance is key
