Pizza Bubble Ring



6 to 8 tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2cans (12 oz each) Pillsbury® Grands!® Jr. Golden Layers® refrigerated flaky original biscuits
40 small slices pepperoni (about 3 oz)
8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 20 pieces
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/4 cups pizza sauce, heated

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube pan with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. In small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
Separate 1 can of dough into 10 biscuits; press or roll each into 3-inch round. Place 2 pepperoni slices in center of each biscuit round. Top each with piece of mozzarella cheese. Bring dough up around filling; press edge to seal and shape each into ball. Roll in butter mixture; place 10 balls in pan.

Bake 33 to 38 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Gently loosen bread from sides of pan. Place large heatproof plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan. Serve warm with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
One thing  I'd like to change is to put some of the butter mixture and cheese in the bottom of the pan before putting the pizza balls in the pan.  The time listed at the top is too long so I'd lessen the time to match your oven).

Scott served his mission in the Phillipines and came home loving the food from there.  Funny he doesn't like veggies from here and won't touch them.  We had a friend that brought this Lumpia dish to our Easter potluck dinner in 09.  Since we moved, I had to get the recipe from her so we can make it ourselves.
