Pull Apart Pepperoni Pizza Bread (Monkey Pizza)

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.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) cans  refrigerated  pizza dough or 2 (8 ounce) cans  biscuits

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cut pizza dough or biscuits into quarters.
3. Cut the pepperoni into smaller pieces.
4. Mix all the ingredients (except pizza sauce) in a bowl and toss so that the oil is spread evenly on each piece of dough, place in greased Bundt Pan (if making half the recipe) or 13x9 inch greased pan if making whole recipe.
5. Bake for about 30 minutes (or until the top is brown and the center is thoroughly cooked) TIP: Be sure to check it in the middle before you pull it out. If the middle is still not cooked thoroughly be sure to leave it in another 5 minutes at a time until it's done.
6. Flip over on to a plate while it's still hot.
7. Serve with pizza sauce.
