Pizza Monkey Bread Recipe
Monkey Bread Ingredients:
- Two cans (16 oz each) of chilled pizza dough or biscuit dough
- One cup of chopped pepperoni (or your preferred pizza topping)
- One cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Half a cup of optionally grated Parmesan cheese
- One tablespoon of Italian seasoning
- One teaspoon of powdered garlic
- Half a teaspoon of optionally crushed red pepper flakes
- One-fourth cup of melted butter
Regarding the Dipping Sauce:
- One cup of pizza sauce or marinara sauce
Directions
Warm up the oven:
- Set the oven temperature to 375°F, or 190°C. Grease a deep baking dish or bundt pan.
Get the biscuit dough ready:
- Cut each cookie into quarters after opening the dough. Slice the pizza dough into little, bite-sized pieces if using.
Combine the ingredients:
- The biscuit pieces, mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if used) should all be combined in a large bowl.
Apply a layer of butter:
- Pour the melted butter on top of the mixture and toss to coat everything.
Put Together in the Pan:
- Fill the Bundt pan with the biscuit mixture in layers. To pack it in, slightly press down.
Add the Parmesan cheese:
- Top with the grated Parmesan cheese, if using.
Bake:
- The biscuits should be cooked through and the top should be golden brown after 25 to 30 minutes of baking in a preheated oven.
Chill and serve:
- After the monkey bread has finished baking, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- The Bundt pan should be carefully inverted onto a serving dish.
- With marinara sauce for dipping, serve warm.
Advice
- Customization: Depending on your preferred pizza toppings, feel free to add extras like cooked sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
- Storage: Keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. Warm up again in the microwave or oven.
- Make-Ahead: The mixture can be made several hours ahead of time and refrigerated until it’s time to bake.
