Grocery Essentials

Before you start, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:

• Premade pizza dough (available in 14- or 16-ounce portions)
• Oil or cooking spray
• 1 jalapeño pepper, sliced thinly
• 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Marinara sauce for dipping

Make Your Own Dough (Optional)

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make your own pizza dough using our Basic Pizza Dough recipe. Simply use two-thirds of the recipe to create the perfect base for your savory monkey bread.

Assembly and Baking

To assemble, cut the pizza dough into 9 pieces and form each piece into a ball. Let the dough rest for an hour before preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil a tapered ovenproof bowl and arrange 3 dough balls in the bottom. Add a slice of jalapeño and a handful of mozzarella cheese, then repeat the process two more times. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the monkey bread is risen, brown, and bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, serve your savory monkey bread warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. This unique twist on a breakfast classic is sure to become a new favorite in your household.
