How to Make Pull-Apart Bread
There are 4 easy steps to making this recipe.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Melt the butter. Put the cold stick of butter in a bundt pan and let it melt in the preheating oven.
- Prep the biscuits. While the butter melts, cut the Grands biscuits into quarters. In a bowl, toss the biscuit pieces, garlic, Italian Seasoning, and Parmesan cheese together.
- Add biscuits to the pan. Once the butter is melted, add the biscuit mixture to the pan, sprinkling with any cheese and garlic that gets left behind in the bowl.
- Bake. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Turn out on a dish and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Use a bundt pan if possible. This type of bread cooks best when made in a bundt pan and that’s how this recipe has been tested. You probably could bake it in a different type of baking dish, but a bundt pan gives it that signature shape.
- Make sure it’s cooked through. Sometimes it can be a guessing game when monkey bread is cooked through. Our recipe bakes for 25 minutes and when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. But all ovens run differently, so it’s best to use a digital thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F and you’re not eating any raw dough.
Proper Storage
This pull-apart bread is best served right away or at least the same day it’s made while it’s fresh. If you do have leftovers, it can be stored tightly covered at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for about 3 days. Bring it back to room temperature or heat up sections in the microwave before serving again.

Loved it!! Quick, easy, very tasty!! I did however use the Pillsbury flaky rolls (what I had on hand) balled them up before adding the fresh chopped garlic, Parmesan, ramono as well as aisago cheese ( kinda stuck a lil bit) but got it out of the bunt pan in one piece. Definitely will make again.
Needed something very easy as a side and found this recipe. This was a big hit.
I always have pillsbury products in my fridge and make this monkey bread all the time – my family just loves it. I don’t have a bundt pan – I bake it in a casserole dish and always need to tack on about 5 extra minutes.
I cheat all the time with freezer pie crusts, canned biscuits. This sounds wonderful!
Another easy, yummy recipe. Loved. It.
I’m with you–my last attempt at “real bread” about 2 years ago was not so hot. So I’m digging the not-exactly-from-scratchedness of this. =)
Yeast is the one thing I don’t do, so this was perfect. So easy. Came out crispy with a tender inside. My kids loved it!
Heaven help me. Couldn’t stop eating it.
Easy and delicious!
