Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (1012 biscuits)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2030 pepperoni slices
  • 4 tablespoons garlic butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough and toppings: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into halves or quarters depending on size. In a bowl, mix the melted garlic butter with Italian seasoning. Place the pepperoni slices and shredded mozzarella cheese nearby for easy assembly.
  2. Coat the dough pieces: Toss the biscuit dough pieces in the garlic butter mixture until each piece is thoroughly coated. This adds buttery flavor and helps create a golden crust during baking.
  3. Layer in the baking dish: Grease a bundt pan or round baking dish. Add a layer of coated dough pieces, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Repeat the layers until all dough, cheese, and pepperoni are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
  4. Bake the monkey bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Check the center for doneness before removing.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool for 5-10 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving plate and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh refrigerated biscuit dough for the best texture; avoid frozen dough.
  • Distribute cheese and pepperoni evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  • Monitor baking time closely to avoid drying out; start checking at 25 minutes.
  • Cool slightly before serving to allow the layers to settle for easy pull-apart.
  • Grease the baking pan well to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
