Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a tube cake pan.
- Mix Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, basil leaves, garlic powder, and paprika; set aside.
- Combine Bisquick, sour cream, and milk; mix until a soft dough forms.
- Smooth the dough into a ball on a floured board.
- Knead the dough 10 times.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Dip each ball into melted margarine, then roll in the cheese mixture.
- Arrange the coated balls in layers in the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese mixture on top of the arrangement.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
- Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the cheese mixture. If you don't have Parmesan, Pecorino Romano is a great substitute. Ensure the dough isn't overly sticky; if it is, add a bit more Bisquick until it's manageable. For a spicier kick, you could include a pinch of red pepper flakes in the cheese mixture.
Serving Suggestions
This Herb Bubble Ring makes a perfect appetizer or snack for gatherings and pairs beautifully with Katie'S Cauliflower Salad for a delightful contrast. Serve it warm with a side of marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping. It can also be enjoyed alongside soups or salads for a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the bubble ring in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as this may make the dough chewy rather than fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and shape it into balls a few hours in advance. Just cover them with a damp cloth to prevent drying out. You can then proceed to dip and bake them just before serving for the best texture.
What can I use instead of margarine?
Butter is an excellent substitution for margarine and will add a richer flavor to the dish. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, coconut oil or olive oil can work well as alternatives.
Can I freeze the Herb Bubble Ring?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked dough balls after coating them. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
