Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough e.g., Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite melting cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the Topping
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish
  • 1 pretzel stick for the stem

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Open the biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.
  3. In a bowl, combine the biscuit pieces, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat the biscuit pieces evenly.
  4. Arrange the cheese-coated biscuit pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a circle, leaving a small space in the center. Shape the circle to resemble a pumpkin.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
  6. Brush the butter mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove from oven. Insert a pretzel stick into the center of the bread to create a stem.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

You can use different types of shredded cheese for variety. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
