- 🍅 1 cup pepperoni slices, quartered
- 🧄 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 🥄 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 🥄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 🌿 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 🍅 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce (for serving)
📝 Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2️⃣ Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- Open the cans of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters.
3️⃣ Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the quartered biscuit dough pieces, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and quartered pepperoni slices. Toss gently to mix.
4️⃣ Season the Dough:
- Pour the melted butter over the biscuit mixture. Add the Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Toss everything together until the dough pieces are well coated.
5️⃣ Assemble the Monkey Bread:
- Transfer the biscuit mixture into the prepared bundt pan or baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6️⃣ Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
7️⃣ Serve:
- Allow the pizza monkey bread to cool for a few minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve with warm marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
