Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread Recipe by Tasty image

Despite this party appetizer's name, cheesy pull-apart goodness is no monkey business. Flaky biscuit dough, marinara sauce, cheese, and pepperoni are baked together in a bundt pan, then you dig right in, with more marinara sauce for dipping. Make this indulgent recipe your own by replacing the pepperoni with your favorite pizza toppings.

Pour the pizza into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Sprinkle remaining pepperoni and cheese on top of pizza before placing into the oven.
