Baked to golden perfection, this flavorful bread is garnished with fresh parsley, making it a perfect appetizer or party snack that is easy to prepare and irresistibly cheesy.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 16 oz)

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Cheese and Garnish

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter for greasing pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Preheating ensures the biscuit dough will bake evenly and develop a golden-brown crust.
  2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the canned biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to create bite-sized pieces.
  3. Create the Garlic Butter Mixture: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop. Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the melted butter. Stir well to evenly combine the flavors.
  4. Toss the Biscuit Pieces: Place the biscuit quarters in a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over them and toss with a spatula or your hands to coat each piece thoroughly, making sure every piece is saturated with the flavorful butter.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle a generous portion of the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated biscuit pieces. Toss again to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed and sticks to the dough.
  6. Arrange in a Baking Dish: Grease a bundt pan or a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking. Transfer the coated biscuit pieces to the dish, layering them evenly. For extra flavor and presentation, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley between layers if desired.
  7. Bake the Monkey Bread: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for color and a fresh herbal note. Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart the cheesy, garlicky bread.

Notes

  • You can use a bundt pan for the classic monkey bread shape or a 9×13-inch baking dish for ease.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference or omit for a mild version.
  • Refrigerated biscuit dough saves time but for a homemade touch, you can substitute with homemade biscuit dough.
  • Fresh garlic is preferred for optimal flavor, but garlic powder (1 teaspoon) can be used in a pinch.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
