PIZZA MONKEY BREAD
The Super Bowl is Sunday!!! I feel like I want to say Super Bowl over and over because brands and companies aren’t allowed to use the word “Super Bowl” because of copyright laws.
Instead they have to say “The Big Game” whenever referring to the Super Bowl.
But since I have my own blog here I’m allowed to say it all I want. And start sentences with “And” and “But” which is horrible grammar. So Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl. Take that.
We like to do our own version of Prop Bets for the Super Bowl. Will Donald Trump come? What song with Justin Timberlake sing first?
Will Pink’s hair be pink or some other color when she sings the national anthem?
As far as food, these are what I will probably end up making: Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese, BLT Dip, Jalapeno Popper Pigs in a Blanket, Jalapeno Popper Dip, and the Best Bean Dip. Or some version of that.
Per my husband’s request, something pizza flavored. Pizza rolls, stuffed pizza rolls, or this pull apart Pizza Monkey Bread. What are you guys making??
HOW TO MAKE PIZZA BREAD
You can make your pizza dough from scratch but I like the way that biscuits puff up and saves me a lot of time.
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE A BUNDT PAN?
You can make this Pizza Monkey Bread in a 9×13 dish. You may have to adjust your baking time to less time but you can totally do it.
CAN I PREPARE THIS MONKEY BREAD AHEAD OF TIME?
You can bake it ahead of time and reheat. I wouldn’t prepare the raw biscuits with the mixture and let it sit in the fridge overnight because the biscuits start to get a weird texture.

Pizza Monkey Bread
Pizza Monkey Bread is an Italian appetizer stuffed with pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and garlic all in a Bundt pan. If you love pizza, you'll love this Pizza Monkey Bread made with biscuits and marinara sauce for dipping.
Ingredients
- 2 (16.3 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits quartered
- 6 ounces pepperoni, quartered
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- `1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or grated
- 1/4 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasonings
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- marinara for dipping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, add all the ingredients (except marinara) and toss well until combined.
Pour mixture into a greased 10-inch Bundt pan (you can also use a 9x13 baking dish). Bake for 35-45 minutes or until rolls are cooked on the inside; cover with foil after 20 minutes or until top is browned. Check every 5 minutes towards end of cooking to see if done.
Remove from oven and loosen edges of bread with a knife. Invert Bundt pan on a plate and then invert onto a serving plate so that the pretty side is up. Pull apart and dip in warm marinara.
Recipe Notes
This can also be made in a 9x13 baking dish. Cooking time will be shorter - around 30 minutes.
Can this be made with gluten free pizza dough??? Looks delicious!!!
Haven’t tried it but I don’t see why not.
Can Swiss cheese be used instead of mozzarella?
Not crazy about pepperoni pizza but love Hawaiian pizza. Would this recipe be the same if I exchanged Canadian bacon for pepperoni and reduced cheese a little and exchange for pineapple? Any other changes you’d suggest?
I think it would work great!
So easy and it was a hit!
Can you add sausage along with the pepperoni
Sure I don’t see why not!
I’d like to make with frozen pizza dough-Do you think the 20 Oz size balls I buy would work for one recipe?
Yes, I would maybe get two. 20 ounces might not be enough.
Love this
Glad you loved it!
This recipe was really good! I halved it as there is only 2 of us. Added extra Parm & Pepperoni , some green onions too.Also uses a little pizza spice along with the zesty Italian spice. Hubby really liked it! Which was a shocker.
Thank-you for this fun, tasty recipe!!
Glad you liked it!
Does this need to be served hot?
How long and at what temperature would you reheat this dish? I want to bake a day in advance but don’t want to mess it up reheating it.
I would reheat at 350 for about 10-15 minutes.
Hello love your recipe, but in Italy we do not have cans of refrigerate biscuits how can I substitute that thank you
You can use pizza dough instead!
Outstanding and so easy to assemble and bake. The biscuits, pepperoni, garlic and cheese were the perfect blend. My husband loved it and we will make it again. It will become a great go to meal. Thanks.
You are welcome!
Could you use regular frozen homemade bread or buns dough ? I would think that would be good.
Yes, think that would work!
Could I use fresh store bought pizza dough?
Absolutely!
Love it!
Can you use any other dough besides the refrigerated biscuits? Like homemade of may kind?
Homemade pizza dough is great!
Wondering could it be cool in a pan on a grill?
Definitely worth a try but I’m not sure the details of how.
