Servings: 16 servings
Calories: 291kcal
Ingredients
- 2 16.3 ounce cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 4-6 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt or salt and black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 12 ounces fresh mini mozzarella balls or shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a Bundt pan or 9–10 cup tube pan.
- Cut biscuits into quarters and add to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Once melted, mix with garlic, Italian seasoning, seasoning salt or salt and black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Pour the butter mixture over the biscuit dough and toss gently until all the pieces are coated.
- Spoon 1/3 of the biscuit mixture into the prepared pan. Add half off the mozzarella, cheddar and parmesan cheese. Add 1/3 more of the biscuits, followed by the remaining cheeses. Lastly, add the remaining biscuit pieces. Slightly press down as you go.
- Bake uncovered 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve as is or with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes
Storage:
This pull apart bread is best served warm out of the oven, but if you do want to store any leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for a couple of minutes until warmed through. We don't recommend freezing this monkey bread, as it will change the texture once it thaws. If you want to make it in advance, you can layer the ingredients in the bundt pan a couple hours before, cover the pan and place it into the fridge. Then bake right before the party begins! Tips:

- Layer correctly for the best cheese pull. Be sure to alternate layers of biscuit dough and shredded cheese. This is so crucial to being able to get the best cheese flavor and cheese pull out of every bite.
- Grease the bundt pan well before layering. There are a lot of nooks and crannies in this type of pan, so greasing with a cooking spray or melted butter generously will help to flip the cheesy garlic pull-apart bread out perfectly.
- Bake uncovered to help the bottom cook through and brown nicely. If it's getting too browned, then shield with foil.
- Try a different cheese. Just be sure they are good melting cheeses. We also love fontina or Gruyere combined with mozzarella as another option.
- Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes before flipping. Like with any baked good, it needs to cool slightly to set before being able to easily flip it.
