Ingredients
- Unsalted butter and olive oil
- Garlic – Finely minced.
- Chopped oregano – Fresh or dried.
- Parmesan cheese – You’ll want some for cheesy pockets throughout and some for sprinkling on top.
- Canned refrigerated biscuits – Using store-bought biscuit dough is the perfect shortcut.
How to Make Savory Garlic Monkey Bread
- Prepare the garlic seasoning: In a baking dish, combine the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan.
- Add in the dough: Separate the dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the pieces in the pan with the butter mixture and toss to coat each piece. Distribute the dough pieces evenly in the pan, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake: Set the oven to 375ºF and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the inside is cooked through.
- Cool and enjoy: Cool for 5 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Invert the monkey bread onto the rack, then flip the bread carefully over again and transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm, and let everyone pull it apart into hunks.

Garlic Oregano Monkey Bread
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 (12-ounce) can refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- In a 1 to 1 1/2 quart baking dish (eyeball it, and see if it looks big enough to hold the biscuits), combine the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan.
- Separate the dough into biscuits, and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the pieces in the pan with the butter mixture and use your hands to toss to combine and coat the pieces well. Distribute the dough pieces out evenly in the pan, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the inside is cooked through, with no doughy pockets (use a butter knife to check out the middle). Cool for 5 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Invert the monkey bread onto the rack, then flip the bread carefully over again and transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm, and let everyone pull it apart into hunks.
