Equipment

  • Wilton Perfect Results Premium Non-Stick 9.51-Inch Fluted Tube Pan, Steel Bundt Cake Pan
  • Villeroy & Boch - NewMoon breakfast plate, modern plate for breakfast, brunch, cakes or desserts, made from premium porcelain, dishwasher safe, white, 24X24X2CM
  • Samsle Porcelain Ramekins 4 oz Oven Safe, Small Souffle Dishes for Creme Brulee, Ice Cream, Dipping and Sauces Cup, Ceramic White Mini Baking Bowls Set of 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cans 16 oz each Refrigerated Biscuits, like Pillsbury Grand, or 2 lbs of pizza dough
  • 1 cup freshly grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup freshly grated provolone
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 6 ounces pepperoni thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

For serving

  • Marinara Sauce
  • Fresh Basil
  • Grated Parmesan
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with cooking spray.
  • Cut the biscuit dough rounds into quarters. If using pizza dough, cut it into thick 2-inch chunks.
  • In a large bowl, combine the biscuit dough pieces, three cheeses, pepperoni, garlic, Italian seasoning, and melted butter. Using your hands, mix all of the ingredients together until it's well blended and the dough chunks are coated with the butter, cheese, and seasoning.
  • Scoop the mixture into the prepared bundt pan, making sure it's an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and cover with tin foil to prevent the top from over browning. Return the foil-covered pan to the oven and cook for an additional 15 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is completely cooked (use a knife to pull apart the bread in the center to make sure it is not still dough in the middle.)
  • Turn the pizza monkey bread out onto a plate and then invert it again onto your serving platter so that the top is right side up. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and fresh basil. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
