Bubble Pizza Recipe

Refrigerated biscuits: These are the base of the bubble pizza, providing a fluffy and chewy texture.

Pizza sauce: This adds the classic tomato flavor that ties the dish together.

Shredded mozzarella cheese: Melts beautifully to create a gooey, cheesy topping.

Pepperoni slices: Adds a savory, slightly spicy kick to the pizza.

To ensure the biscuits bake evenly and achieve a perfect texture, try layering them in the baking dish rather than just dumping the mixture in. This allows for better heat distribution and prevents any pieces from being undercooked. Additionally, consider adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the pizza sauce for an extra burst of flavor.

• refrigerated biscuits - Substitute with pizza dough: Pizza dough can be cut into small pieces to mimic the texture and function of refrigerated biscuits, providing a similar base for the bubble pizza.

• refrigerated biscuits - Substitute with crescent roll dough: Crescent roll dough can be quartered and used in place of biscuits, offering a slightly different but still delicious texture.

• pizza sauce - Substitute with marinara sauce: Marinara sauce has a similar flavor profile and consistency, making it a suitable replacement for pizza sauce.

• pizza sauce - Substitute with tomato paste mixed with Italian seasoning: This combination can replicate the rich, seasoned flavor of pizza sauce.

• shredded mozzarella cheese - Substitute with shredded cheddar cheese: Cheddar cheese melts well and adds a different but complementary flavor to the pizza.

• shredded mozzarella cheese - Substitute with provolone cheese: Provolone offers a similar melt and texture, with a slightly sharper taste.

• pepperoni slices - Substitute with sliced sausage: Sliced sausage can provide a similar savory and spicy element to the pizza.

• pepperoni slices - Substitute with vegetarian pepperoni: For a vegetarian option, use vegetarian pepperoni which mimics the flavor and texture of traditional pepperoni.

• Allow the bubble pizza to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation from forming, which can make the biscuits soggy.

• Transfer the cooled bubble pizza to an airtight container. If you don't have a container large enough, you can use a baking dish covered tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

• Store the bubble pizza in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

• For freezing, wrap the bubble pizza tightly in plastic wrap and then in a layer of aluminum foil. This double wrapping helps to prevent freezer burn.

• Label the wrapped bubble pizza with the date so you can keep track of its freshness. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.

• When ready to enjoy, thaw the bubble pizza in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.

• For a quick reheat, you can also use the microwave. Place a portion on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel to retain moisture. Heat on high for 1-2 minutes, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.

• If you prefer a crispier texture, reheat the bubble pizza in a toaster oven or under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

• Consider adding fresh toppings like basil, parmesan cheese, or red pepper flakes after reheating to enhance the flavor and give it a freshly made feel.

• Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the leftover bubble pizza in an oven-safe dish.
  3. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from drying out.
  4. Heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are warmed through and the cheese is melty and bubbly.

• Microwave Method:

  1. Place a portion of the bubble pizza on a microwave-safe plate.
  2. Cover it with a microwave-safe lid or another plate to retain moisture.
  3. Heat on medium power for 1-2 minutes, checking halfway to ensure even heating.
  4. If needed, continue heating in 30-second intervals until the pizza is hot.

• Stovetop Method:

  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place a slice of bubble pizza in the skillet.
  3. Cover the skillet with a lid to trap the heat and help melt the cheese.
  4. Heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pizza is warmed through, flipping halfway if necessary.

• Air Fryer Method:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
  2. Place the bubble pizza in the air fryer basket, ensuring it's not overcrowded.
  3. Heat for 3-5 minutes, checking halfway to ensure it doesn't overcook.
  4. Remove when the pizza is hot and the cheese is bubbly.
