    Easy Pull Apart Pizza Bread

    This easy cheesy pull apart pizza is fun to eat, super nostalgic and couldn’t be simpler.  It’s a great recipe to make before watching the big game, after school or whenever a comfort food craving hits.  

    All you need to make Pizza Monkey Bread is refrigerated biscuit dough, seasoning and your favorite pizza toppings.  At our house, the dipping sauce of choice is marinara sauce but you can feel free to dip into ranch, queso or whatever other sauce your family likes.  We’re also big pepperoni pizza fans, but if you would rather make a vegetarian version you can absolutely skip it.

    Ingredients in This Pizza Monkey Bread Recipe

    • Refrigerated Biscuits - you can use any brand of refrigerated canned biscuit dough.  Personally, we like the Pillsbury Grands brand, which you can find at just about any grocery store.
    • Olive Oil - you can also use avocado oil.
    • Butter - this can be either salted or unsalted.
    • Garlic - you can use fresh minced or substitute garlic powder.
    • Italian Seasoning - you should be able to find Italian seasoning in the spice section of your grocery store.
    • Pepperoni - any sliced pepperoni will work.  You can also use mini pepperoni rather than quartering each piece, or skip altogether to make a vegetarian version.
    • Mozzarella Cheese - you can purchase shredded cheese, or shred your own.
    • Parmesan Cheese - this should be grated.
    • Marinara Sauce - any brand of marinara or pizza sauce will work!

    How to Make Pizza Monkey Bread

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
    2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, butter, garlic and Italian seasonings and set aside.
    3. Open and separate the biscuit dough cans, then cut each biscuit into four pieces.  Roll a handful of the cut biscuit pieces into the garlic oil mixture at a time, making sure to cover all the dough, then transfer to a separate large bowl.  Continue until all of the biscuit pieces are covered.
    4. Add the pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese to the bowl with the biscuit pieces, tossing gently to combine.  Spread the prepared pizza monkey bread pieces evenly into the bundt pan.
    5. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes (Note: if you use a dark bundt pan, you may need to bake for an extra 5-10 minutes), or until the edges are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
    6. Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before inverting it to a large plate or serving platter.  Serve with warm marinara sauce.  Enjoy!

    How to Store Pull Apart Pizza Monkey Bread

    While monkey bread is really best eaten fresh out of the oven, you can store your Pizza Monkey Bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.  
    When you are ready to serve, transfer onto a baking dish or tray lined with aluminum foil and warm in a preheated 325 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.  Serve with warm marinara or pizza sauce on the side.

    Can I Freeze Monkey Bread?

    You sure can!  Just be sure to let it cool completely, then wrap well in aluminum foil and store in a freezer bag, or another airtight container, for up to 2 months.
    When you are ready to serve, you can let the monkey bread thaw in the fridge overnight, then transfer to a baking sheet and reheat in a preheated 325 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
