Eye-talian Monkey Bread

This dish takes on the bunt pan in a more filling and less sweet version of a monkey bread. It's pretty much pull apart pizza bites - hence the name Italian Monkey Bread. I owe this one to my sister for sending me the recipe the day before a party I made it for! I had never made it before and it turned out perfect.

1 pound block of mozzarella cheese - cubed
1 package of pepperoni slices
2 bags of pizza dough
1 stick butter
3 cloves garlic - minced
1 T each of oregano and parsley

1) Let dough soften/rise for a couple hours then preheat oven on 350 degrees
2) Melt butter, garlic, parsley, oregano in microwavable bowl on low heat
3) Rip off pieces of dough and flatten out (the size of the piece is going to accommodate 1 cube of mozz cheese and 2 slices of pepperoni. Fold and pinch the dough around the cheese/pepperoni.
4) Drop the filled dough balls in the butter/garlic/spice mixture
5) Place coated dough balls in bunt pan and drizzle any remaining butter mixture over the dough balls
6) Place in over for 45-55 min until golden brown (I usually place a cookie sheet on the rack beneath the bunt pan just in case of some over-flowage)
7) Flip on to platter and serve with marinara dipping sauce.

I wish the picture was better but this was at a party that only had direct lights from above over the food.
