Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 package (16.3 ounces) of refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough, separated and cut into quarters
- 1 ¼ cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, set aside in two portions
- ¾ cup jalapeño pepper slices, divided
- ¾ teaspoon dried parsley flakes, divided
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Guidelines:
- Set the Oven’s Temperature to 350°F (175°C). To keep a deep round baking dish or bundt pan from sticking, generously spray it with cooking spray.
- Get the biscuit dough ready: Divide the chilled buttermilk biscuit dough into four halves and cut each part into quarters. Put aside.
- To assemble the monkey bread, place the biscuit dough pieces and melted butter in a large mixing basin. Gently toss to distribute the butter over every item.
- To the bowl, add ½ cup of jalapeño pepper slices, ½ teaspoon of dry parsley flakes, and 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Combine all ingredients until the cheese, peppers, and parsley are mixed in with the dough pieces.
- Arrange Dough Layers in the Pan: Layer the coated dough pieces in the baking dish or bundt pan that has been prepared. Over the dough layers, equally distribute the remaining ¼ cup of shredded Cheddar cheese and ¼ cup of jalapeño pepper segments. Top with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of dried parsley flakes and the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- To bake the Monkey Bread, preheat the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the bread is golden brown. For the last ten minutes of baking, lightly cover the top with aluminum foil if it begins to brown too quickly.
To serve, let the monkey bread cool in the pan for around five minutes and then gently turn it out onto a serving platter. Enjoy breaking apart the cheesy, spicy delight piece by piece as you serve it warm! - For those who want a spicy and cheesy snack, Big Ray’s Cheesy Jalapeño Monkey Bread is the best pull-apart bread. Melting cheeses, spicy jalapeños, and soft biscuit dough combine to produce a flavorful and texture-explosion that is ideal to share with loved ones.
