Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup pepperoni slices (chopped)
- 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped pepperoni, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the mixture for brushing the tops of the scones later.
Gradually add the milk-egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved milk-egg mixture to help them brown evenly during baking.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Serve the pizza scones warm with pizza sauce for dipping or enjoy them on their own!
