    tender biscuit pieces combined with seasonings to create a monkey bread pizza

    A few days ago, I had one of those crazy busy days, where the last thing on your mind is dinner. It was 4pm, I was getting my son off the bus, and realized, I had no plans for dinner.

    Pull Apart Pizza Bread using refrigerated biscuits is so simple to make, and a hit for snack or quick meal options! Add pepperoni or just cheese and enjoy!

    My kids love to enjoy this with a small cup of marinara sauce on the side. With each bite they take, they dip their pieces into the sauce and have a sauced, pizza bite that is packed with flavor! You can have fun with the toppings and use cooked sausage, green peppers, onions, BBQ, pineapple, and more!

      What are biscuit cans? Where do you buy them in Australia? Can you use something else instead of the biscuit cans? TIA

      Biscuits here in the U.S come in a can typically from a brand called Pilsbury. In the past, I believe people have used scone mix in place of the biscuits. You can try that if you have that available. We are workijg on a homemade recipe for biscuits for those who prefer to make it from scratch rather than canned 🙂

      The recipe says to serve with spaghetti sauce-the pictures look like the biscuits have sauce in the pan before baking! Any way, it looks good.

    6. Kristin and Adriana

      April 18, 2014 at 6:03 pm

      Nope, we just served our sauce on the side! You are probably seeing the toasted cheese and pepperoni resemble the color of sauce 🙂

      Can you mix this up ahead and keep in the fridge till ready to bake?

    8. Kristin

      July 1, 2014 at 5:31 am

      Sure!! You may just need to adjust the cooking time a bit since it will be cold going into the oven, 🙂

      This sounds so good, what else would you serve with this?

    14. Kristin

      January 3, 2015 at 5:19 pm

      Typically when I make this, I serve a salad of some sort with it. I count it as our “healthy” side to our “not so healthy” dinner, haha!! Fresh fruit could go with it too!!

      just made this! Great and fun.

      Thanks angela

      So glad you enjoyed it! Its a favorite with my kids 🙂

      October 22, 2018 at 5:48 pm

      are the biscuits cooked before making this ?

    18. Kristin

      October 23, 2018 at 10:39 am

      Nope, they cook after the ingredients are tossed together!

    19. Kathy

      June 28, 2019 at 1:24 pm

      Regular biscuits or Grands?

    20. Kristin

      June 28, 2019 at 2:08 pm

      I use Grands!! Enjoy!

    21. Karen

      October 21, 2019 at 9:50 am

      Looks yummy, I will definitely try this recipe. Do you think adding a little of the marinara sauce to the biscuits before baking would make it moist.

    22. Kristin

      October 21, 2019 at 11:58 am

      That definitely would be a great addition! Just don’t add too much otherwise it’ll be mushy biscuits!

    23. Annie

      October 21, 2019 at 1:30 pm

      Can I use a 8″ square pan instead?

    24. Kristin

      October 21, 2019 at 2:13 pm

      Absolutely! Just watch the cook time as it may vary a bit!

    25. Sandi

      November 1, 2019 at 12:02 pm

      Are you able to use italian sausage instead?

    26. Kristin

      November 1, 2019 at 1:11 pm

      As long as its cooked, yep, you can definitely use Italian sausage, ham, pepperoni, or just about any meat desired!

    27. Bryan

      November 13, 2019 at 5:51 pm

      Well, that was a disappointment. Took an hour to cook and it was still doughy in places. Too much dough and other enough anything else. I could have made a skillet pizza in less time. That recipe goes into the recycle box.

    28. Kristin

      November 14, 2019 at 11:27 am

      That’s a bummer to hear! I just made this last week with no problems. Did you use everything listed and in the same pan? I wonder what happened! Sorry it was a fail!

    29. Bryan

      November 15, 2019 at 7:30 am

      Followed the recipe exactly. It seemed like the dough didnh’t want to cook. I used Wies brand.

    30. Kristin

      November 15, 2019 at 10:38 am

      Hmmm, I wonder if it was the brand. I have only used Pilsbury in this, but I don’t see why that would make a difference. Dough is dough, right? So sorry it didn’t turn out!

    31. Cloella Jacobs

      January 10, 2020 at 6:46 pm

      I am going to try Pizza dough , Don;t buy ready tuse produts like pillsbury dough,

    32. Kristin

      January 11, 2020 at 8:45 am

      Great idea! I’m sure that will work great too!

    33. Nancy

      May 31, 2020 at 12:18 pm

      What about adding some garlic butter? Thinking about other monkey breads have cinnamon butter. I’m worried it might be dry.

    34. Kristin

      May 31, 2020 at 4:27 pm

      That could work, just don’t add too much to where the biscuits don’t cook in it because of too much liquid. Maybe a light drizzle? That would be great!

    35. Karen

      September 17, 2020 at 7:55 am

      Has anyone tried using pizza dough for this recipe?

    36. Kristin

      September 17, 2020 at 10:39 am

      I haven’t, but that should work great!!

    37. Stephanie

      January 3, 2021 at 6:25 pm

      I had the same outcome as Brian🥺. I even added cook time; all sides were done, but the entire inside was uncooked. I used a stoneware Bundt pan that usually cooks hot and I have to watch for over cooking but not in this case.
      One difference was I used “original” Pilsbury biscuits not Grands because the only mention of Grands was your response to a question about their use (not mentioned in the recipe).

    38. Kristin

      January 4, 2021 at 8:34 am

      Such a bummer to hear that! I just made it this past weekend and didn’t have that issue 🙁
      Could the biscuit pieces have been too big? The type of biscuit really shouldn’t matter as they should all bake up the same.
      A trick I have heard is to cover in foil half the time as it won’t brown, but will cook through. Then remove the foil and allow the top to brown up!
      So sorry to hear that happened! I will try to trouble shoot and update!

      Very tasty, however, even with liberally greasing the pan it stuck. Very very good though. I wonder if you could use homemade pizza dough rolled out and cut into pieces… Might be an idea

    40. Kristin

      February 1, 2021 at 2:13 pm

      I’m sure that would work great! Sorry to hear it stuck though, thats always a pain!

      Can you use Rhoades bread rolls instead of canned biscuits?

    42. Kristin

      February 20, 2021 at 1:45 pm

      Sure! You’d just need to let them thaw and rise before using these in the recipe!

    43. Ann Fure

      February 22, 2021 at 7:41 pm

      am GF so can’t use canned, is it ok to use regular (gf) dough instead of the canned?

    44. Kristin

      February 23, 2021 at 7:19 am

      Absolutely! That should work great, just keep an eye on cooking times as I am unsure of how quick that dough bakes compared to the regular! Enjoy!

    45. Linette

      February 23, 2021 at 8:43 am

      When you say to cut the biscuits into quarter sizes, do you mean cut into 4 pieces or cut to size of a quarter, as in the coin?

    46. Kristin

      February 23, 2021 at 10:41 am

      Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces! Enjoy!!

      I used pizza dough and it turned out great! I followed the directions in recipe. I actually just tore the pizza crust into little pieces which made it even easier! It didn’t stick to the pan either.

    48. Kristin

      October 31, 2021 at 11:07 am

      Yay!! So glad you enjoyed!! Great idea on tearing the pieces!!

    49. Doug

      February 12, 2022 at 4:27 pm

      To avoid sticking, I’m just going to spray lightly with cooking spray. That should work. Also going to add a little bit, just to lightly coat the bisquit pieces, of pizza sauce and see how it comes out.

    50. Kristin

      February 13, 2022 at 8:44 am

      Great idea, should work great! Hope you enjoy!! Keep me posted what you think!

      can you use canola oil or vegetable oil if you do not have olive oil.

    52. Kristin

      September 15, 2022 at 9:20 am

      Vegetable oil works in this as well! Enjoy!
