I love to serve this hot with a bowl of warmed marinara sauce. If you have a small bowl you can place it in the middle of the monkey bread. If you are enjoying this as a family you can use your hands and pull it apart. It you are serving to guests this slices well. 

Additional Fillings

If you can put it on a pizza you can put it in this monkey bread. We have made a lot of variations to this recipe. Including sausage, onion, peppers, jalapeños and spinach. Get creative and have fun with flavor combinations.
