Pizza Monkey Bread

I made this for the kids on Christmas Eve and they loved it.  The adults liked it too.  It would be great for your New Year’s Eve party. 

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 stick butter melted 
• pizza dough, enough for 2 pizza crusts  (I used this recipe, it makes the perfect amount)
• 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes ( 1/2 inch or slightly bigger)
• 1 small can sliced black olives
• 1 package turkey pepperoni
• marinara sauce, warmed, for dipping

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a small glass dish in the microwave along with the garlic powder.
2. Lightly brush the inside of a bundt pan or tube pan with garlic butter.
3. Make quarter-sized balls of dough and then flatten.  Top with a slice of pepperoni and a cube of mozzarella and a black olive slice.
4. Wrap the dough around the pepperoni and cheese, pinching well to seal.   Lay out on a piece of wax paper making sure that they don’t touch at this point because they will stick together. 
5. After making all the balls,  brush the pizza balls with garlic butter and place into the bundt pan.
6. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes, while preheating the oven to 400.
7. Bake for 35 minutes, until the top is very brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes.
9. Turn out onto a platter and serve with warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
