Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the rind from the top of the Brie wheel and discard.
Spread out the refrigerated pizza dough onto a prepared baking sheet.
Place the Brie wheel in the center and use scissors to cut the dough into a circle large enough to cover the sides of the cheese. Discard excess dough. *see notes
Spoon garlic and pizza sauce over top of the Brie wheel.
Top with mozzarella and pepperoni slices.
Carefully gather the edges of the crust and pinch around the top edge of the Brie wheel to form a pizza shape.
Brush the crust with melted butter.
Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
Sprinkle with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

🥖 Ways to Use Leftover Pizza Dough (No Recipe Required!)
- Mini Breadsticks or Knots: Roll the dough into strips or twist into knots. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder or parmesan, and bake alongside the pizza.
- Quick Flatbread: Press it flat and pan-fry with olive oil. Serve with dips or use a mini appetizer with leftover toppings as a base.
- Sweet Treat: Roll into small balls, brush with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and bake for quick doughnut bites.
- Stuffed Dough Balls: Wrap dough around a cube of cheese or a bit of prosciutto, then bake until golden.
- Homemade Croutons: Dice and bake until crisp—perfect for topping salads or soups.
- Freezer Option: Freeze the leftover dough in a small ball, wrapped tightly in plastic and sealed in a bag. Just thaw and use within a few weeks.
