Prep: 10 min | Cook: 15 min | Total: 35 min

Cost: $4.50 total, $0.56 per serving

Ingredients

  • 16 pieces Refrigerated Biscuit Dough (store‑bought, kept cold)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (or 2 cloves fresh minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Parsley (optional fresh parsley can be used)
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Rosemary (crushed between fingers)
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Basil (optional)
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (optional, for stuffing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven

    Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the bread.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 350°F

  2. Prepare Bundt Pan

    Generously spray the inside of the bundt pan with non‑stick cooking spray and set aside.

    Time: PT30S

  3. Make Garlic‑Herb Butter

    Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave (30 seconds). Stir in garlic powder, dried parsley, rosemary, and basil until well combined.

    Time: PT2M

  4. Cut Biscuit Dough

    Separate the biscuit dough into 16 equal pieces. If the dough is very cold, let it sit at room temperature for 2‑3 minutes to make it easier to cut.

    Time: PT2M

  5. Roll and Coat Dough Balls

    Roll each piece into a smooth ball (about 1‑inch diameter). Dip or brush each ball in the garlic‑herb butter, ensuring an even coating.

    Time: PT3M

  6. Optional Cheese Stuffing

    If using cheese, make a small indentation in each ball, place a pinch of shredded mozzarella inside, and seal the opening before coating with butter.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Arrange in Bundt Pan

    Place the coated dough balls into the prepared bundt pan, packing them tightly. Press gently to fill any gaps.

    Time: PT2M

  8. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15‑20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the interior is cooked through.

    Time: PT15M

    Temperature: 350°F

  9. Cool and Unmold

    Remove the pan from the oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter.

    Time: PT5M

  10. Serve

    Serve warm with marinara sauce, cheese dip, or any dip of your choice.

    Time: PT0M
