Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can assemble the entire dish up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate unbaked. Add about 5-10 minutes to the baking time when cooking from cold. Alternatively, you can pre-cut and season the dough balls and store them separately from the other ingredients, then assemble just before baking.

What if I don't have a bundt pan?

No worries! While a bundt pan creates that impressive ring presentation, you can use a 9x13 baking dish, a large loaf pan, or even a round cake pan. The cooking time might vary slightly, so keep an eye on it and look for that golden brown top as your indicator.

Can I use homemade Alfredo sauce?

Definitely! Homemade Alfredo sauce will take this dish to another level. If making your own, aim for a slightly thicker consistency than you would for pasta, as it will thin slightly during baking as the dough releases moisture.

My family doesn't like chicken. Can I substitute something else?

Certainly! This recipe works wonderfully with Italian sausage, ham, or even as a vegetarian version with sautéed mushrooms and spinach. Just make sure any meat substitutions are fully cooked before adding them to the bread.

Instructions

Prepare the Bundt Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a large bundt pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
Prepare the Dough Balls: Cut the pizza dough into ½-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them into a large bowl.
Flavor the Dough Balls: Add olive oil, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, and ½ cup parmesan cheese to the bowl with the dough balls. Use your hands to gently coat the dough balls with the mixture.
Layer the Ingredients in the Bundt Pan: In the prepared bundt pan, layer ½ cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup parmesan cheese, ½ of the dough balls, 1 cup of shredded chicken, and ½ cup of Alfredo sauce. Repeat the layers with another ½ cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup parmesan cheese, the remaining dough balls, remaining chicken, and the rest of the Alfredo sauce. Top it all off with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella and ½ cup parmesan.
Bake the Monkey Bread: Bake the assembled monkey bread in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Cool and Serve: Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a large plate. Allow the bread to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
