This Pizza Monkey Bread is a fun, savory twist on traditional monkey bread, featuring flaky biscuit dough loaded with pepperoni, gooey mozzarella, and Italian-seasoned garlic butter. Perfect as a shareable appetizer or snack, it’s baked to golden perfection in a bundt pan and served with zesty pizza sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 biscuits) Pillsbury Biscuits
  • 4 oz pepperoni, sliced or chopped
  • 1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Seasoning and Butter Mixture

  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For Serving

  • Pizza sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C). Grease a bundt pan or an 8-9 inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cut the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate into 8 individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces, making a total of about 48 pieces.
  3. Toss Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the biscuit pieces, pepperoni, shredded mozzarella cheese, melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Gently toss everything together until the dough pieces are evenly coated and the ingredients are well distributed.
  4. Assemble in Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly to create a uniform layer.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the bread turns golden brown, the biscuits have puffed up, and are fully cooked through. If the top begins to brown too quickly before fully baking, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  6. Invert and Serve: After baking, remove the pan from the oven. Use a knife to loosen the edges of the bread from the pan carefully. Invert the bundt pan over a cutting board or large serving plate to release the monkey bread. Serve immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can use an oven-safe skillet if you don’t have a bundt or baking dish.
  • For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
  • Make sure to grease the pan well to avoid sticking and preserve the monkey bread shape.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 350ºF for 10 minutes to regain crispiness.
