How to Make Pizza Monkey Bread
Making Pizza Monkey Bread is as straightforward as it gets. The biscuits are cut into bite-sized pieces, tossed with seasonings, cheese, and pepperoni, and layered into a bundt pan. After a quick bake, you’ll have a pull-apart masterpiece that’s bursting with cheesy, savory goodness.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cut the biscuits into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
- Melt 1 stick of butter and pour it over the biscuit pieces, stirring to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic salt over the biscuits and mix well. Add 1 ½ cups of mozzarella cheese and toss until the biscuits are coated.
- Brush a bundt pan with melted butter. Sprinkle a thin layer of mozzarella cheese and half the Parmesan cheese into the bottom of the pan. Add a layer of pepperoni slices to fully cover the bottom.
- Add half of the cheese-coated biscuit pieces to the bundt pan.
- Sprinkle with more mozzarella cheese and add another layer of pepperoni slices.
- Top with the remaining biscuit pieces. Pour the remaining ½ stick of melted butter evenly over the top. Finish with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate, tapping gently to release the pizza monkey bread.
- Add extra melted butter and cheese on top, if desired.
- Serve warm, pull apart, and enjoy!
Pro Tips For Making This Recipe
- Cut the biscuits into even, bite-sized pieces so they bake consistently. This ensures every piece is perfectly golden and cooked through.
- The melted butter keeps the biscuits tender and flavorful while adding a golden, crisp texture. Be sure to pour it evenly across the layers.
- Mix it up by adding cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, or diced vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
- Allow the bread to cool for at least 5 minutes before inverting the pan. This helps it hold its shape and release cleanly.
- Pair the monkey bread with marinara, ranch, or garlic butter for dipping. It takes this pull-apart bread to the next level!
