I found this recipe on Pinterest from Confessions of a Foodie Bride-This is such an easy recipe that is so fun for kids and adults alike! Great for parties! It’s also lots of fun if your kids want to help you make it-can’t really be messed up! You can take the long route and make your favorite pizza dough (You can find one of my pizza dough recipes from a past blog) and serve with homemade marinara sauce, or go the short route and pick up your favorite pizza dough and red sauce from the store. Bon Apetit!
Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread
Ingredients
◦2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
◦4 Tbsp butter
◦2 lbs pizza dough (I used this recipe because it makes enough for two pizza)
◦6 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes (or vegan cheesesubstitute)(you’ll need ~48 pieces)
◦48 slices of Turkey pepperoni (from 1 package)You can also use a Vegan Pepperoni! (I don’t use pepperoni, but alot of people like it)
◦2-3 cups marinara sauce, warmed, for serving
Instructions:
1.Heat garlic and butter over medium heat just until the garlic begins to brown. Remove from heat and let sit.
2.Lightly brush the inside of a bundt pan (or other oven-safe dish) with garlic butter.
3.Pull off large marble-sized balls of dough and flatten.Top with a slice of pepperoni and a cube of mozzarella.
4.Wrap the dough around the pepperoni and cheese, pinching well to seal.
5.Very lightly brush the pizza ball with garlic butter and place into the bundt pan (I dabbed the pizza balls on a butter-dipped silicon brush to keep butter use low – there will be 1+ Tbsp leftover – and my hands butter free. Buttery hands make it hard to get the pizza balls to seal).
6.Repeat until all of the dough is used.
7.Cover and let sit for 30 minutes, while preheating the oven to 400.
8.Bake for ~35 minutes, until the top is very brown.
9.Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes.
10.Turn out onto a platter and serve with warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
