Ingredients
  

Biscuit dough base
  • 2 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough Each piece quartered
  • 0.5 cup pepperoni Halved
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese Shredded
  • 0.5 cup parmesan Grated
Garlic butter seasoning
  • 3 tbsp butter Melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
Serving sauce
  • marinara sauce For dipping

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Preheat and season the bake
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a bundt pan with a light coating of nonstick spray or grease so the loaf releases easily.
  2. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes until evenly combined.
Assemble the monkey bread loaf
  1. Toss quartered biscuit pieces, pepperoni, and mozzarella with the garlic butter until coated so each piece is glossy.
  2. Layer the coated mixture into the bundt pan, pressing slightly to help it hold together as it bakes.
  3. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top for a browned, cheesy finish.
Bake and serve
  1. Bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, until the monkey bread is golden on top and looks set in the center.
  2. Invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate and serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

For the cleanest release, let the baked monkey bread stand 5 minutes before inverting. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days and rewarm in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes. Freezing is yes—freeze portions tightly wrapped up to 2 months and reheat from thawed (or add a few extra minutes). For a lighter option, use turkey pepperoni or part-skim mozzarella while keeping the garlic butter and bake time the same.
