Are you familiar with monkey bread? Monkey bread is an easy to make, pull-apart bread made with refrigerated biscuit dough. You’ll often see monkey bread recipes as desserts, but this Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread For One is savory. It’s cheesy, it’s gooey, it’s wonderfully delicious and it just might soon become your new favorite way to enjoy your pizza.

I revisited this Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread recipe a few weeks ago. I like to go back and update old pictures and remind myself why I love certain recipes so much. This monkey bread recipe, also known as Bubble Pizza, is an oldie but goodie here at One Dish Kitchen and I’m pretty sure you’re going to love it too.

To make Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread For One, you’ll need 1 tube of refrigerator biscuits, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, olive oil, parmesan cheese and dried basil.

Here’s how it comes together…

Open up the tube of refrigerator biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place each biscuit quarter into a either a zip-topped bag or a large mixing bowl. I find it easier to use a zip-topped bag, but you can certainly use a bowl or large dish. Add the olive oil, parmesan cheese and dried basil to the bag (or bowl), zip up the top and shake or mix the ingredients together.

Create a single layer of the seasoned dough in a small baking dish.

Top the layer of seasoned dough with tomato sauce and chopped pepperoni.

Next, add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Top the cheese with another layer of seasoned dough.

Finish with additional sauce and mozzarella cheese and place in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes.

I use my 5-inch baking dish most often for this recipe. It’s the same dish that I use in many of my “recipes for one”. Please visit our One Dish Kitchen Store for more information on purchasing this dish.

As you can see, this pizza monkey bread is an easy recipe. You can use any smaller-sized baking dish and simply adjust the amount of dough you use depending on the size of your dish. For smaller sized dishes, use less dough. For a larger dish, you may only use one layer of dough.

This Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread For One will change the way you think about pizza.

Enjoy!
