Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread

Gregg stumbled upon this little jewel one night at work 2 weeks ago , back when I was actually working. Since then he has had a craving for it that was getting kind of ridiculous. He'd ask me to make it literally every day. I finally gave in last night and decided to make it. Except I fell asleep. So last night was really 7:30 am.I'm glad I eventually gave in though. It's super simple. It is a little time consuming but not too bad. 

Ingredients

-2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
-4 tbsp butter
-2 lbs pizza dough (I used 3 cans of Pillsbury's Classic pizza crust in an 13.8oz tube)
-6 oz. mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes (about 48 pieces)
-pepperoni (about 48 slices)
-2-3 cups marinara sauce for serving

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, heat garlic and butter over medium heat until garlic begins to brown. Remove from heat and allow to sit. Brush the inside of a bundt pan with the garlic butter.
2. Pull off large marble-sized balls of dough and flatten. Place a slice of pepperoni and a piece of cheese on each, folding the dough around the cheese and pepperoni and pinching well to seal.

3. Brush the pizza ball with the garlic butter and place in the prepared bundt pan. Continue until all dough has been used.

4. Cover and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400F and bake for 35 minutes, until top is browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Invert onto a platter and serve with warmed marinara sauce for dipping.

As a side note , I didn't use a bundt pan because I just don't have one of those. I used a regular glass pan and it worked just as well . The time doesn't need to be altered either. Stay tuned for my Pink Lemonade Pie post later.
