    This pizza donut recipe has been 4 years in the making.

    The same obscure little brain of mine that thought up this sweet potato burrito and dill pickle fries came up with the idea of making a jelly donut...but filled with cheese and warm marinara instead....four scores and seven years ago. It's about time we get that 'ish out into the world.

    Working at a bakery for 4+ years left me with a love/hate relationship with donuts. On the plus, I had donuts at my eating disposal, and tried every kind they had, BUT went home every night smelling like a stale fryolator. The honeymoon phase of loving donuts didn't last too long.

    Now that the smell of fryer oil has left my pores and clothes finally, the idea of a donut strikes my fancy now and again. And I am all in for those filled suckers. Boston cream. Bavarian cream. Lemon. And of course, JELLY. If my face isn't left with a fine dusting of sugar, it's not a donut.

    So it was only natural for me to merge two glorified foods into one, cheesy, buttery, bursting at the seams damn-that's-good pizza donut. Plus, they're baked, so it's like totally healthy.

    Money-Saving Tips for this Pizza Donut Recipe:

    • Buy the block. Instead of buying pre-cut cheese, buy it by the block & cut it yourself. Not only is is less expensive, but also lets you control the size.
    • Use store brands. Utilize store brands for the sauce, spices, and biscuits to cut costs without sacrificing quality or flavor.

    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    2. Separate biscuits, and flatten each into a disc.
    3. Place a cube of cheese in the center of each biscuit, and wrap around to cover.
    4. Add to prepare baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden.
    5. While baking, mix parmesan, garlic powder, and italian seasoning in a small bowl.
