Monkey Bread Pizza Recipe – Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Bars
Tips:
- When working with a sticky dough (like in the cookie recipe below), try brushing some flour on your fingers to help keep the dough from sticking.
- Sometimes a recipe calls for a ham or pork roast to be baked on a rack. If you don’t have a rack, prop the meat up using some apples placed in the bottom of the pan. This also adds extra flavor to the meat.
- When baking cakes for a bake sale, bake them in loaf pans. Smaller cakes tend to sell more quickly and seniors and singles love the smaller size.

Monkey Bread Pizza Recipe
Garlic butter
Dough – about 2 lbs or enough for a loaf. You can use pizza dough, bread dough or canned biscuits
Sliced pepperoni
Cubes of Mozzarella cheese
Pizza or Marinara sauce
Either saute some garlic cloves in butter or add a little garlic powder to some melted butter and brush the inside of a bundt pan with it. Take a ball of dough the size of a golf ball and flatten into a circle big enough to lay a pepperoni slice and a half inch cube of cheese (2-3 inches). Bring up edges and seal. Layer in the bundt pan. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30-35 minutes. Serve with sauce.

The monkey bread looks great and going to use it tonight. Also am going to experiment with different fillings.Think it will be a good way to use up small portions of leftovers.With a sauce or gravy I see a great way for an inexpensive “surprise” meal.
Bea

I really like that idea to bake cakes in loaf pans. I have various size loan pans and made one bigger loaf and 2 smaller loafs to give away as gifts. One cake mix could equal 2 bigger loafs or 4 smaller loafs or a combination.

on the monkey bread pizza. do you roll it like a jelly roll, and lay it around the tube pan or slice it like a roll and layer it?
Jill
You take a small chunk of dough big enough to lay a pepperoni on, flatten it, lay the pepperoni on it and a small chunk of cheese. Bring up the sides of the dough and enclose the pepperoni and cheese. Basically what you are doing is wrapping a piece of dough around a slice of pepperoni and cheese then you layer or stack the balls of filled dough in the bundt pan the same way you do normal monkey bread.After it is baked you can easily pull the baked balls of filled dough apart.
