1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a bundt pan or a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
Open the can of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. You can do this by simply cutting each biscuit into 4 pieces with a knife or kitchen scissors.
In a large bowl, combine the dough pieces with olive oil, making sure they are lightly coated.
3. Add Pizza Fillings:
In a separate small bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, mini pepperoni, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Add the cheese and pepperoni mixture to the dough pieces. Toss gently to distribute the pizza fillings evenly among the dough pieces.
4. Layer the Monkey Bread:
Layer the dough and filling mixture into the greased bundt pan or baking dish. Press the dough down gently as you go to create an even layer.

5. Bake:
Once all the dough pieces are layered, place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
6. Serve with Pizza Sauce:
While the monkey bread is baking, warm the pizza sauce in a small saucepan or microwave.
When the pizza monkey bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
7. Enjoy!
Serve the pizza monkey bread warm with the pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Storage:
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
