Equipment

Ingredients
- - 2 cans 16 oz each refrigerated biscuit dough
- - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- - 1 cup mini pepperoni slices
- - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- - 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- - 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- - 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- - 1/2 cup marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan or baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- **Prepare Dough:** Cut each biscuit into quarters.
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a large mixing bowl, toss the biscuit pieces with mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni slices, and Parmesan cheese.
- **Make Garlic Butter:** In a small bowl, mix melted butter with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- **Layer in Pan:** Place half of the biscuit mixture into the prepared pan. Drizzle with half of the garlic butter mixture. Repeat with the remaining biscuit mixture and garlic butter.
- **Bake:** Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
- **Cool and Serve:** Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
