QUICK HERB AND CHEESE MONKEY BREAD
Prepared biscuit dough is the base for this pull-apart loaf, which is formed by rolling the dough in olive oil and herbs before piling in a bundt pan, which helps turn the loaf crispy and golden brown. Our tasters called them the Southern version of pizza-shop garlic knots.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt or tube pan lightly with cooking spray.
- Toss the Parmesan, oregano, garlic, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl until well mixed. Roll each biscuit half into a ball. Put 8 of the balls in a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, tossing until well coated. Transfer each ball to the Parmesan mixture to coat, then place in the prepared pan. Working in batches of 8, repeat with the remaining dough balls, overlapping in the pan as necessary.
- Bake until the dough is puffed and browned, about 50 minutes; check halfway through the baking time and tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly.
- Let the bread cool 10 minutes. Loosen the bread from the sides of the pan with a thin spatula. Invert the pan onto a baking sheet, then flip the bread (decorative-side up) onto a serving plate.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the butter in a medium bowl. Brush the Bundt pan with some of the butter to lightly coat.
- Cut the biscuits into quarters. Combine the Cheddar and powdered cheese mix in a large bowl and stir together.
- Working in batches, toss one-third of the biscuits in the melted butter, roll them in the cheese mixture to lightly coat and add them to the Bundt pan so they are nestled together in an even layer; sprinkle with one-third of the bacon. Repeat to make 2 more layers of biscuits rolled in cheese and the bacon. Sprinkle the top with any leftover cheese mixture and drizzle with any leftover butter.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until puffed and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Loosen the bread from the sides of the pan with a knife or offset spatula. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate, remove the pan and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use a good quality bacon for the best flavor.
- Be sure to cook the bacon until it's crispy, but not burnt.
- Use a variety of cheeses in your snack bread for a more complex flavor.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Be sure to grease the baking dish well before pouring in the batter. This will help prevent the bread from sticking.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Bacon herb and cheese snack bread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick bite to eat. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a crispy bacon crust and a cheesy, herby interior. It's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
