Ingredients

2 cans biscuits, cut into quarters (I use 16.3oz cans of Grands Original Flaky Layer Biscuits)
4 tablespoon salted butter, melted
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
6 oz pepperoni, cut in half
2 C shredded Italian cheese blend
pizza sauce for dipping
optional: sprinkle parmesan cheese and/or red pepper flakes for topping

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray, then set it aside for later.
Toss the biscuit pieces and melted butter together in a large mixing bowl.. Use your hands to toss the ingredients together, pulling biscuit pieces apart as needed, to ensure all biscuit pieces are fully coated in the butter.
Add the Italian seasoning to the large mixing bowl and toss again until the biscuits are evenly coated with seasoning.
Add the cheese and pepperonis to the biscuit mixture. Continue mixing until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the biscuit mixture into the prepared bundt pan. Rearrange the biscuits so they’re evenly distributed throughout the pan and not clumped together.
Cover the pizza monkey bread with tin foil and bake it in your preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before turning it onto a serving plate.
Serve the bread with warm pizza sauce for dipping, and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Variations and Substitutions:

Mix in different pizza toppings. Some of my other favorite pizza toppings include sausage, bacon, garlic, and veggies.

Use different dipping sauces. Instead of pizza sauce, try alfredo, pesto, or marinara sauce.

Make homemade biscuit dough. If preferred, use homemade!

Storage:

Let the monkey bread cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container or ziplock bag. Store the pizza bread in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
