Ingredients
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan generously with butter or nonstick spray to ensure the monkey bread doesn’t stick and comes out easily after baking.
Prepare the Dough
Open the cans of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. This will make bite-sized pieces that are perfect for layering and pulling apart later.
Assemble the Monkey Bread
In a large bowl, combine the quartered biscuit dough pieces with the melted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and mini pepperoni slices. Toss everything together until the dough pieces are evenly coated and the cheese and pepperoni are well distributed.
Layer in the Pan
Spoon the mixture into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it out evenly. Pour the pizza sauce over the top, letting it seep down through the layers. This will ensure that every bite is packed with pizza flavor.
Bake the Monkey Bread
Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. The top should be crispy and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes. Carefully invert the monkey bread onto a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Enjoy!
This Pizza Monkey Bread is perfect for sharing—just pull apart a piece and enjoy the cheesy, savory goodness. It’s ideal for parties, gatherings, or as a fun family dinner.
Tips
- Dough Variations: If you prefer, you can use homemade pizza dough instead of biscuit dough. Just make sure to roll it out and cut it into small pieces.
- Filling Options: Feel free to customize your monkey bread with your favorite pizza toppings like sausage, olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Make Ahead: This monkey bread can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it’s chilled.
- Leftovers: Leftover monkey bread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven to bring back the crispy texture.
This Pizza Monkey Bread is a delicious, shareable treat that combines all the best parts of pizza in a fun, pull-apart form. Perfect for any occasion, it’s sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Enjoy!
