Ingredients

  • Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread. I’m not quite sure what to ever say about this creation other than I literally stuffed my face the second it came out of the oven. Totally obsessed.
  • 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
  • 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.
