Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Refrigerated Biscuit Dough – 1 can (about 16 oz)
  • Pizza Sauce – 1/2 cup
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – 2 cups
  • Pepperoni Slices – 20-30 slices

Seasonings and Coating

  • Melted Butter – 1/4 cup
  • Italian Seasoning – 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic Powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Topping

  • Parmesan Cheese – 1/4 cup, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces, keeping them roughly the same size for even baking.
  2. Mix the Butter and Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with Italian seasoning and garlic powder to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Coat the Dough Pieces: Toss the biscuit dough pieces in the butter and seasoning mix until each piece is lightly coated with the buttery herb mixture.
  4. Layer the Monkey Bread: In a bundt pan or round baking dish, layer the coated dough pieces alternating with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and dollops of pizza sauce evenly throughout the layers.
  5. Top with Cheese and Parmesan: Sprinkle additional mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese over the top layer for a cheesy and crispy crust once baked.
  6. Bake and Serve: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 25 minutes, until the top is golden and cheese is bubbly. Allow to cool a few minutes before carefully removing from the pan and serving warm.

Notes

  • Slice biscuit dough into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even baking.
  • Use freshly shredded mozzarella for better melting and fresher taste.
  • Don’t skip the butter and herb coating for that signature crispy crust.
  • Watch the bread near the end of baking time to avoid overbaking.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when ready.
