Ingredients
– 2 cans refrigerated biscuits for base providing soft, fluffy texture
– 6 ounces pepperoni for spicy, savory pizza flavor
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese for gooey, stretchy layer
– 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese for nutty, salty depth
– 1/4 cup melted butter for rich, golden finish
– 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning for aromatic herbs
– 2 teaspoons dried parsley for fresh, herby note
– 2 teaspoons garlic for robust, pungent kick
– Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat Your Oven Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking and helps the flavors meld together nicely. Use this time to gather all your ingredients so everything is at hand.
2-Second Step: Mix the Ingredients In a large bowl, toss together the quartered biscuits, pepperoni, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, and garlic until everything is well combined. Make sure each piece is evenly coated for the best flavor distribution. This step is where the magic happens, blending all those pizza flavors into one cohesive mix.
3-Third Step: Prepare the Pan Pour the mixture into a well-greased 10-inch Bundt pan or a 9×13-inch baking dish. If you’re using a Bundt pan, give it a thorough greasing with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Spreading the mixture evenly will help it bake uniformly and pull apart easily later.
4-Fourth Step: Bake the Monkey Bread Bake for 35-45 minutes, checking every 5 minutes during the last part to ensure it’s done. If the top starts browning too quickly after about 20 minutes, cover it loosely with foil. The bread is ready when it’s golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, which usually takes around 40 minutes total.
5-Fifth Step: Cool and Release Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes in the pan. Carefully loosen the edges with a knife to avoid any sticking. Then, invert the pan onto a serving plate or platter to release the monkey bread.

6-Final Step: Serve and Enjoy Pull apart the pieces and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. This step adds the interactive fun, making it perfect for family meals or parties. Remember, it yields about 8 servings, so it’s great for sharing with friends and family. For more inspiration, check out another popular pizza monkey bread recipe.
