You can easily add your other favorite pizza toppings to this recipe. Either tuck them in with the pepperoni if they’re larger pieces, or if they’re smaller put them in a bowl and roll your dough in it AFTER you dip it in your garlic butter mixture.
Pizza Monkey Bread Recipe Tips:
+ Using a spring form bundt pan makes it easy to get your monkey bread out of the pan. You just need to be sure you add a baking sheet underneath the pan to catch any butter dripping out of the pan. If not, it could drip down into your oven and start a grease fire.
+ Serve your pizza monkey bread up with our homemade marinara sauce to really impress your guests!
