1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil. This ensures the monkey bread doesn’t stick and comes out beautifully after baking.

2. Prepare the Dough

If using biscuit dough, separate the biscuits and cut each one into quarters. If using pizza dough, cut it into 1-inch pieces. These small pieces will form the base of your pull-apart bread.

3. Create the Garlic Butter Mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). This flavorful mixture will coat the dough and infuse it with delicious pizza-inspired flavor.

4. Assemble the Monkey Bread

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut dough pieces, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and pepperoni slices. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the top and toss everything together until the dough is evenly coated with butter and the toppings are evenly distributed.

5. Layer the Dough in the Bundt Pan

Transfer the coated dough pieces into the prepared bundt pan, layering them evenly. Press them down gently to ensure the pieces stick together as they bake. If you want extra cheese and pepperoni, sprinkle a little more in between the layers as you go.

6. Bake the Monkey Bread

Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center—it should come out clean.

7. Cool and Unmold

Remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly and makes it easier to remove from the pan. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate or platter.

8. Serve and Enjoy

Garnish the monkey bread with fresh parsley or basil, if desired, and serve it warm with marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Let the fun begin as everyone pulls apart the cheesy, gooey pieces!
