Ingredients

Scale

1 can Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough (8-count)

½ cup ricotta cheese

¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp melted butter

1 tbsp chopped parsley

¼ tsp smoked paprika

8 small pretzel sticks

Marinara sauce for dipping


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

3. Flatten each biscuit dough round to about 4 inches wide.

4. Spoon 1 tbsp filling into the center of each dough piece.

5. Wrap dough around filling, seam-side down.

6. Tie each dough ball loosely with kitchen twine to mimic pumpkin ridges.

7. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden.
