Ingredients

• 16 oz Refrigerated biscuit dough
• 6 oz Pepperoni slices
• 8 oz Mozzarella cheese, cubed
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously using non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters for a total of small dough pieces.

Step 3

Cut each mozzarella cheese cube so it’s small enough to fit inside a quarter of biscuit dough.

Step 4

To assemble, place one piece of dough flat in your palm, add a slice of pepperoni folded in half, and top it with a small cube of mozzarella. Wrap the dough firmly around the fillings and pinch the edges to seal.

Step 5

Repeat the filling and wrapping process for all pieces of dough.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Dip each stuffed dough ball into the garlic butter mixture before placing it into the greased bundt pan.

Step 8

Once all the dough balls are arranged in the pan, brush any remaining garlic butter mixture over the top for added flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm. This dish pairs wonderfully with marinara sauce for dipping.
