Pull Apart Pepperoni Pizza Bread (Monkey Pizza)

Submitted by Larawithoutau

"From Sweet & Simple Living website, your kids will love this savory twist on Monkey Bread. Made in a Bundt pan (half the recipe), it is a beautiful appetizer served with warmed pizza sauce in the center in a ramekin. I usually make half of the recipe to serve 4 with some leftovers as a main dish with a side salad."
