Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Sprinkle a greased 12-inch pizza pan with cornmeal.
- Separate the biscuits and cut each into four pieces, placing them in a medium mixing bowl.

- Arrange the coated dough into an 8-inch circle on the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using garlic butter instead of spaghetti sauce for a richer flavor. You can also substitute the mozzarella cheese with a blend of cheddar and provolone for a different taste. If you have leftover biscuits, consider making a batch of Shoe String Potatoes to accompany this dish. Ensure even cooking by spacing the biscuit pieces adequately in the pan.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Pizza Bubble Bread hot and fresh from the oven as an appetizer or a fun side dish at gatherings. It pairs beautifully with a fresh salad drizzled with Honey Mustard Low-Fat Dressing or a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a hearty soup.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Pizza Bubble Bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, you can microwave individual pieces for 30-45 seconds, but they may not retain the same crispiness.
