PEPPERONI PIZZA MONKEY BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY
Despite this party appetizer's name, cheesy pull-apart goodness is no monkey business. Flaky biscuit dough, marinara sauce, cheese, and pepperoni are baked together in a bundt pan, then you dig right in, with more marinara sauce for dipping. Make this indulgent recipe your own by replacing the pepperoni with your favorite pizza toppings.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) bundt pan with nonstick spray.
- Tear a biscuit in half and flatten to approximately 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Top with ½ teaspoon marinara sauce, 2 slices of pepperoni, and 1 teaspoon mozzarella. Pinch the dough together, sealing the fillings inside, and roll into a ball. Repeat until all of the dough is filled.
- Arrange a layer of pizza balls in the prepared bundt pan and top with ⅓ of the remaining mozzarella.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Drizzle some of the olive oil mixture over the pizza balls. Continue layering the remaining pizza balls, mozzarella, and more of the olive oil mixture, reserving about 2 tablespoons for brushing.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the biscuit dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling between the pizza balls. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
- Brush the remaining olive oil mixture all over the monkey bread. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Warm the remaining marinara sauce and serve alongside for dipping.
- Enjoy!

PULL APART PEPPERONI PIZZA BREAD (MONKEY PIZZA)
From Sweet & Simple Living website, your kids will love this savory twist on Monkey Bread. Made in a Bundt pan (half the recipe), it is a beautiful appetizer served with warmed pizza sauce in the center in a ramekin. I usually make half of the recipe to serve 4 with some leftovers as a main dish with a side salad.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut pizza dough or biscuits into quarters.
- Cut the pepperoni into smaller pieces.
- Mix all the ingredients (except pizza sauce) in a bowl and toss so that the oil is spread evenly on each piece of dough, place in greased Bundt Pan (if making half the recipe) or 13x9 inch greased pan if making whole recipe.
- Bake for about 30 minutes (or until the top is brown and the center is thoroughly cooked) TIP: Be sure to check it in the middle before you pull it out. If the middle is still not cooked thoroughly be sure to leave it in another 5 minutes at a time until it's done.
- Flip over on to a plate while it's still hot.
- Serve with pizza sauce.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh pizza dough. You can use store-bought or make your own. If you're using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature before using.
- To make the monkey bread easier to pull apart, use a sharp knife to score the dough before baking. You can also use kitchen scissors to cut the dough into pieces.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Serve the monkey bread warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or Alfredo sauce.
