This savory take on monkey bread is a gooey crowd pleaser. Don’t have a Bundt or tube pan? Use a loaf pan, just increase the baking time a bit.

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat an 8- or 9-inch tube or Bundt pan with cooking spray. Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces for a total of 64 pieces.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Add the biscuit pieces, toss to coat. Add Beemster X-O and coat the biscuit pieces with cheese.

  3. Layer up! On the bottom of the pan, add ¼ cup pepperoni and ½ cup Beemster Farmers’ Choice. Top with one-third of the biscuit pieces. Repeat twice more with pepperoni, Beemster, biscuit pieces. Top with any remaining pepperoni & Beemster!

  4. Bake in oven until top is golden and dough is fully cooked, about 30-35 min. Let stand for 5 min. Use a knife to loosen edges of dough from pan. Place a plate on top and invert the monkey bread onto the plate. Serve with marinara sauce to dip.
