This air fryer pizza monkey bread recipe is very similar to my Pepperoni Mozzarella Monkey Bread but it's made the traditional way, in the oven.
I also used my Garlic Butter Recipe for this just like I did for my Garlic Parmesan Monkey Bread Recipe. This garlic butter recipe is delicious and as you can tell it's great for a number of different recipes.
I always keep a jar of the butter in my refrigerator just like I always keep a jar of my homemade marinara sauce in the refrigerator. You never know when you need a bowl to dip something yummy in!
Air Fryer Cooking Tips
I personally own the Hamilton Beach 2.6 Quart Air Fryer. It's a basket type air fryer and it works great for our family. I would like to upgrade to a tray style air fryer in the future.
- Always preheat your air fryer.
- Don't overcrowd the basket or tray.
- If you're cooking French fries, chicken nuggets, tatertots, etc, shake the basket half-way through cooking to make sure nothing is sticking.
- Also, about halfway through cooking, I like to spray the food with either non-stick cooking spray or cooking oil in an aerosol bottle.

Directions
Step 1: Melt the Garlic Butter
Combine the ingredients for the garlic butter in a microwave safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave to melt.
Open the cans of biscuits and separate them. Then slice each biscuit into four pieces. Add the biscuits to the bowl with the garlic butter and then toss to combine.
Step 2: Layer the Biscuits in the Bundt Pan
Spray the bundt pan with non-stick baking spray. Begin layering the biscuit pieces, then the pepperoni slices and mozzarella cheese. Keep layering until there is no more.
Step 3: Baking Instructions
Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook on 350° F for 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the air fryer basket and flip it over onto a piece of aluminum foil.
Place the pan, top down, back into the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 8 minutes. This will make sure the whole loaf is cooked through.
Step 4: Serving Tips
Remove the air fryer pizza monkey bread and let cool for a few minutes before removing from pan. Serve with warm homemade marinara sauce or your favorite jar sauce.
