Ingredients

For the Dough Balls

• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits or 1 lb pizza dough (450g)

• ½ cup grated Parmesan (50g)

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Garlic Butter Mixture

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (85g)

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Prep

   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan or 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.

2. Cut the Dough

   Cut biscuits (or dough) into quarters and roll into small balls.

3. Make the Garlic Butter

   In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.

4. Coat the Dough Balls

   Dip each piece into garlic butter, then toss lightly in Parmesan. Layer evenly in the pan and pour remaining butter over the top.

5. Bake

   Bake 30–35 minutes (Bundt) or 22–26 minutes (9×13), until golden brown and cooked through.

6. Serve

   Cool for 5 minutes, then invert if using a Bundt pan. Serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use pizza dough for a more homemade, chewy texture

• Add mozzarella for extra cheesy pull-apart bread

• Sprinkle red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

• Use fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or thyme for added flavor

• Grease the pan well to prevent sticking

Make-Ahead & Storage

You can assemble the dough balls and refrigerate them for up to 6 hours before baking. Bake fresh for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crisp edges. Freeze baked portions for up to 2 months and reheat before serving.
