Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread

Course: Dinner, Lunch
Cuisine: Italian, American
Servings: 6
Author: Gaby

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 cups Bread flour
  • 1 cup AP flour
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted
  • 1 cup Asiago cheese finely grated
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices cut into small pieces
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 cup Pizza sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the Bread flour, AP flour and salt. Set aside.
  • Combine the active yeast and water in a mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook. Let it sit for a few minutes to make sure your yeast is working. Add the sugar and mix for a quick second. Add the flour mixture in batches, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Let the dough hook work its magic for 5-6 minutes until the dough has come together into a large mass. Remove the dough to an oiled bowl and let rise for 60 minutes.
  • After an hour, remove the dough from the bowl and cut into small 1/2 inch cubes. Dust with flour to prevent them from sticking together. Set aside.
  • Spray 6 small bundt pans with PAM or cooking spray. (You could also use a large bundt pan)
  • Melt the butter in a small bowl.
  • Combine the cheese, pepperoni, oregano, salt and garlic in a large bowl. Add the melted butter and mix together with a spoon. Toss in the cut dough and make sure it all gets a coat of the butter mixture. Start layering the cubes into the bundt pans until they are 3/4 of the way full. Let sit for 30 minutes for the dough to rise a little more.
  • Place bundt pans into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the bread and cheese is golden brown. Serve with warmed marinara sauce or pizza sauce.

Notes

You can easily use store bought buttermilk biscuits rather than making homemade dough. Just preheat the oven and skip to step 5
