Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 27.6 ounces Pizza Dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Cheeses
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, divided
- 2 cups Parmesan Cheese, divided
Other Ingredients
- 2 cups Rotisserie Chicken, shredded
- 1 cup Alfredo Sauce, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a bundt pan by spraying it generously with cooking spray to ensure easy release of the monkey bread.
- Prepare dough balls: Cut the pizza dough into ½-inch pieces and roll each piece into a small ball, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Coat dough balls: In a mixing bowl, toss the dough balls with olive oil, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, and ½ cup parmesan cheese until they are evenly coated.
- Layer ingredients – first layer: In the prepared bundt pan, start with a layer of ½ cup mozzarella followed by ½ cup parmesan cheese. Add half of the coated dough balls, then evenly spread 1 cup of shredded rotisserie chicken and drizzle half of the Alfredo sauce over the top.
- Layer ingredients – second layer: Repeat the layering process with another ½ cup mozzarella, ½ cup parmesan, the remaining dough balls, the remaining shredded chicken, and the rest of the Alfredo sauce.
- Top with cheese: Finish by sprinkling the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the monkey bread.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted nicely.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool for 5 minutes. Then carefully invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate to reveal its beautiful layered appearance. Serve warm for best taste and enjoyment.
Notes
- Make sure to use fresh or high-quality store-bought pizza dough for best texture and flavor.
- Shredded rotisserie chicken saves time but can be substituted with cooked chicken breast if desired.
- You can adjust the amount of cheese or Alfredo sauce according to your taste preferences.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before inverting to prevent it from falling apart.
- This monkey bread is best enjoyed the same day but can be reheated in the oven to maintain its crispy exterior.
