Ingredients in Pizza Monkey Bread

It all starts with refrigerated canned biscuits, making this pizza bread recipe effortless! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements and ingredients.

• Refrigerated Canned Biscuits: Dough that’s ready to go is so convenient! Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces, for plenty of soft bread to pull apart.
• Pepperoni: Slice pepperoni in half, so you have pieces in every bite.
• Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded mozzarella cheese gives this bread that classic pizza flavor.
• Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated will have the best flavor, but for convenience you can use pre-shredded in the bag.
• Butter: The bread and seasonings are tossed with melted butter for richness, to ensure the spices adhere to the bread and so the bread becomes golden as it’s baking.
• Seasonings: A blend of Italian seasoning, garlic powder and garlic salt add delicious flavor. For a kick of spice, add in some red pepper flakes.
• Fresh Parsley: Optional for garnish to add color and freshness.
• Marinara Sauce: Make your own homemade marinara sauce for dipping, or use your favorite store-bought variety.
