Transform your pizza night with this fun and delicious Pizza Monkey Bread! Itβs a pull-apart bread that’s packed with cheesy, pepperoni goodness, making it perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Ingredients:
-2 cans of refrigerated pizza dough
-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-1 cup pepperoni slices, cut into quarters
-1/2 cup melted butter
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp Italian seasoning
-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
-1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Grease a bundt pan or a deep baking dish with non-stick spray.
Cut the Dough:
Open the cans of pizza dough and cut each one into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Toss the dough pieces in the butter mixture until well coated.
Add the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and pepperoni slices to the bowl and mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Assemble the Monkey Bread:
Layer the dough mixture evenly in the prepared bundt pan, pressing down gently as you go.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover with foil for the remaining baking time.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
Tips:
For a cheesy pull, add extra mozzarella between layers.
Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings like olives, bell peppers, or sausage.
This Pizza Monkey Bread is perfect for parties, game days, or simply a fun twist on traditional pizza night. Enjoy! π
