Ingredients

• 16 oz Refrigerated biscuit dough
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 stick Butter
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters, creating small, bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter.

Step 4

Stir in the olive oil, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using) into the butter mixture. Let this sit for a minute to incorporate the flavors.

Step 5

Pour the garlic butter mixture over the biscuit dough pieces and toss until every piece is evenly coated.

Step 6

Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl. Gently toss to distribute the cheese throughout the dough.

Step 7

Layer the coated dough pieces into the prepared bundt pan, ensuring an even distribution. Press down lightly to compress the dough but don’t overpack it.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread has puffed up beautifully.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool for about 5–7 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving plate.

Step 10

Serve warm with a side of marinara or Alfredo sauce for dipping. Enjoy your Cheesy Italian Monkey Bread!
