Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix the 1/4 cup of melted butter and 3/4 cup of milk until combined. Slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of pepperoni slices, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning into the dough. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead the dough for about 1 minute until it comes together. Pat or roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into strips (approximately 2 inches wide). Then, cut each strip into smaller rectangles (about 2x2 inches) to form individual rolls.
- Take each rectangle and roll it up tightly, starting from one end to the other, to form a roll. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Once all the rolls are formed, brush the tops with a little extra melted butter if desired for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy pizza biscuit rolls!
Tips
- Keep your ingredients cold: For the fluffiest biscuit texture, make sure your butter and milk are chilled.
- Don't overmix the dough: Gently combine ingredients to prevent tough rolls. A few lumps are perfectly okay!
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and preventing sticking.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese blends like cheddar or a pizza cheese mix.
- Want a crispier top? Brush with egg wash instead of melted butter before baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and melted cheese experience.
- These rolls can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking - just add 2-3 extra minutes to cooking time.
- For a spicier version, add some red pepper flakes or use hot pepperoni.
