Pizza Monkey Bread

Every now and then, Kim and I like to prepare over-the-top, savory snacks. Preferably, something with melted cheese.

Sometimes we make sausage cheese dip, cheese stuffed breadsticks, or cheesy garlic bread. But, last week, we wanted a pizza themed snack.

So, Kim dug through the pantry and the fridge and made this pizza monkey bread for the family.

It was so tasty and simple we just had to share it on our site. We think you’ll love it as much as we do.

After the detailed instructions, you’ll find some helpful tips and suggestions.

How to make pizza monkey bread with biscuits?

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Next, open and cut up the biscuits, cheese sticks, and pepperonis. Go ahead and melt the butter.

After that, grab a large mixing bowl and a wooden spoon to stir everything together.

In the large bowl combine the biscuits, pepperonis, mozzarella, melted butter, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

Once the ingredients are mixed, transfer them to the grease bundt pan. Simply dump everything into the dish.

Then, place the monkey bread into the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes.

When the monkey bread is done, remove it from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack.

Last, let the appetizer cool in the pan for about 10-minutes before transferring it to a serving platter.

That’s it, your pepperoni monkey bread is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy it and wish you all the best 🙂

Recipe Tips:

• Kim recommends mixing the butter and spices together first, then drizzle that mixture over the biscuits, cheese, and pepperonis. This allows the spices to evenly coat all the ingredients.
• Depending on the brand of biscuits you choose, your pizza monkey bread could taste a little sweet. So, I recommend purchasing a brand of biscuits with a low amount of sugar.
• We served our appetizer with jarred marinara sauce. However, you could use a garlic butter dipping sauce, or even ranch dressing.
• If the biscuits start to brown too quickly, cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil.
• Can I freeze pizza monkey bread? Yes, you can freeze it (unbaked). When properly stored in your freezer, it should hold for up to 2-months. When you’re ready to cook it, thaw it in your fridge overnight before baking.
