Pepperoni and Mozzarella Monkey Bread

A big 5 stars for this. Whole family loved it, we served it with spaghetti sauce on the side for dipping, excellent. I didn't grease my pan, but next time I will, had some trouble getting it out of pan, but could be because everyone was standing over it, as soon as it came out of the oven, and we just had to eat it right away, didn't even let it cool down!

I made this for a potluck and work and there was nothing left but crumbs on a plate! I used 4 cans of bread dough from the biscuit section and premade garlic butter. I also buttered the pan with garlic butter and a bit of parmesean and sprinkled each layer with parmesean cheese. It was really good and several people raved about it and wanted the recipe. The only drawback was the time it took to assemble but nowing that ahead of time, wasn't a big deal. Thanks for sharing!

I agree this is a great tasting recipe, I disagree with the easy making part. This is really time consuming. It probably took us more like 30 minutes to assemble this. BUT well worth the time to make! We used pre-sliced pepperoni and dipped each assembled piece into garlic butter and sprinkled lots of parmesan cheese over the whole thing. Yummy! thank you for sharing!

I admit that at times I struggle reviewing recipes. For the most part people seem to overrate things. You just don't see hardly anything less than 4 stars (then again, I guess it wouldn't get posted if it sucked :) ). Well, if I could give this one 6 stars, I would. It is that good! We served this at our Super Bowl party this year. It was seriously gone in less than 5 minutes. It was absolutely fantastic! My wife wanted to try making it (a scary proposition), but I admit that I am inexperienced with bread. I have never worked with frozen loaves. Either way I helped, and although we ruined our first loaves by letting them thaw too long, the last loaf we had was perfect. She didn't use enough pepperoni (being too careful she didn't run out, and then only ended up using half of the specified amount) It is just so good that you can't mess it up. This is definitely a new addition to our all-star lineup during Super Bowl ( and more).

We made this as a snack for our family get-together...everyone loved it served with warmed pizza sauce for dipping! We also sprinkled garlic powder and parmesan cheese over the pieces before baking. Very good! UPDATE: We used this same recipe again but, substituted ham & cheddar cheese for the fillings and then served with mustard for dipping. A great alternative to the original recipe if you want to switch it up!

This was mediocre at best. Butter made it greasy. Too much bread and too little fillings. I'm sure I could play around with the ratios and make it better but why bother. Too much trouble with not enough pay off at the end.

While this was pretty good, it took an eternity to assemble all 120 balls of dough, meat, and cheese. The description says this is easy, and I suppose the steps involved are simple, but the process is very time consuming. For the time invested, I could have made (and EATEN!) two pepperoni pizzas. It tasted fine, but I will never make it again. Good, but not worth the trouble.

I made this for SuperBowl and it about a third was left, which considering how much food we had for 8 people(easily enough for 20) says something. I ended up giving the recipe to the other two wives! A definate keeper and something I could see me making for an after school snack! Thanks for a great recipe Marie! :o)

I made this for a recent party and it was gone in minutes (honestly, it was gone in about 3 minutes). Everyone loved it. I was a little concerned when I put it in the oven because much of the pepperoni and mozzarella was poking out of the balls of dough. This turned out not to be a problems, when it came out the bread had "grown" around the filling and each little ball came of easily.

This was delicious. I didn't exactly count my pieces of anything but it was very good. I would have to say though I think if I did it again I'd use bigger chunks in the middle of my balls and in turn just have bigger pieces. It was excellent though and I will make it again. Thanks for the recipe.

Terrific! This was attacked at my sisters's chritmas eve open house! I completely agree with another reviewers suggestion to use the smallest amount of dough possible to wrap up the pepperoni and cheese, otherwise you don't notice those great flavors very much. I needed to use more than the 1/3 cup of butter. I also added powdered garlic, I think I could have gone even heavier with it. A word of warning though, this is VERY labor intensive! So if you don't have a lot of time, you might try something else.

This has good flavor and lots of potential for customizing. However, it is time consuming. It took me at least an hour to cut all the ingredients into small pieces and assemble the balls. While I was doing this, I thought, "There has to be an easier way to do this!" Well, I haven't figured that out yet (not with each ingredient in every bite), but we did enjoy the bread!

Recipe was great. I only did one frozen bread dough and put it in a pie plate. It came out good and was easy to dump on a plate to pull apart. Thank you for posting.

Well, I must say as I was putting this together that I thought I probably wouldn't make it again as it was a bit time consuming, but did I change my mind when I saw the final presentation and the taste, WOW! I'll just enlist some help next time, but it is definitely worth the effort. Thanks for posting!

My children laughed when they asked me what I was making.."Monkey Bread?". As soon as they started eating it they were asking if I'd make it again the next day. It's that good! I completely miss counted cutting up the cheese and also figuring out how much pepperoni to add to each ball. Not to worry..no one really noticed. We used pizza sauce to dip it in, although any pasta sauce would be fine too. I made, and cooked, in another small dish some of the balls with just pepperoni for my one boy with dairy allergies..he thought they were great. This recipe can be easily adapted to anyone's taste or needs. This is going in the recipe box to make again and again. Thank you Marie

OMG we loved, loved, LOVED this! It's a little bit of work to make, but totally worth the effort. It popped right out of my bundt pan without a problem and stayed all molded together. I told my kids it was a pepperoni cake!

My kids LOVED this recipe! We were able to make this in no time! The only thing that really takes time is waiting for the frozen bread dough to get ready to be able to cut it! Other than that this recipe was "kid approved"! I made this Sunday night after church. The kids want it again tonight! I did use Monteray Jack & Cheddar cheese block instead of Mozzerela. Thank you for such a good recipe!

I don't have a bundt pan, so I made this with one loaf of refrigerated french bread dough and a loaf pan, and sprinkled garlic powder on top, like Rushed4Time suggested. Delicious, and fun to make - my kids helped assemble the dough balls! Will definitely make again - thanks.
