Easy Pizza Monkey Bread Recipe
Craving a twist on your favorite pizza? This Pizza Monkey Bread is a fun, shareable appetizer that’s loaded with melty mozzarella, pepperoni, and a garlicky punch. Baked to golden perfection in a Bundt pan, it’s a pull-apart sensation that’s perfect for dipping into marinara sauce. Let’s dig into this cheesy goodness!
Ingredients:
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuits, quartered
- 6 oz pepperoni, quartered
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter, slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get ready for the fun part!
- Mix It Up: In a large bowl, toss the quartered biscuits, pepperoni, mozzarella, Parmesan, melted butter, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic until everything’s well-coated.
- Prep the Pan: Generously grease a 10-inch Bundt pan. A 9×13-inch baking dish can also work if you prefer.
- Bake It: Transfer the mixture to the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 35-45 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, cover with aluminum foil to avoid over-browning. Check periodically toward the end to ensure it’s baked to perfection.
- Serve & Enjoy: Once done, run a knife around the edges, invert the pan onto a plate, then flip again to reveal the top. Pull apart the gooey, cheesy pieces and enjoy with marinara sauce!
Quick Tip: If using a 9×13-inch dish, the bake time will be closer to 30 minutes—just keep an eye on it!
