Garlic Parmesan Pull Apart Monkey Bread Biscuits with VIDEO

Garlic Parmesan Monkey Bread starts out with frozen dinner rolls and my homemade garlic butter.  It’s a new twist on monkey bread that your family is going to love!

Garlic Parmesan Pull Apart Monkey Bread Biscuits Recipe

Garlic Parmesan Monkey Bread

I made this recipe a few weeks ago because I realized I had a bag of frozen biscuits in my freezer for months and knew I had to use them quick!  I decided to use the garlic butter recipe that I shared with you recently and make a delicious garlic Parmesan monkey bread using the frozen biscuits.

Who doesn’t love monkey bread? Monkey bread is easy and delicious.  You can make monkey bread sweet or you can make it savory. And let’s face it, it’s always fun to pull apart the bread!

Homemade Garlic Butter

This bread uses the Homemade Garlic Butter that I recently started making and giving as gifts to family and friends.  My family really does love this butter and I make sure I have some in the refrigerator all the time.

It’s great on steamed vegetables and even a baked potato!  I recently made garlic knots and yes, I used this butter for that recipe too!

Garlic Parmesan Monkey Bread Ingredients

Make sure you print out the recipe below and save it for later!

Ingredients: 

  • 1 package frozen, 25 ounce size Parkerhouse Style Rolls – see note below. 
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

How to Defrost the Parkerhouse Rolls

  • Remove the frozen rolls from the freezer. 
  • Separate them from the bag and lay them on a baking sheet that’s been lined with parchment paper. 
  • Wait about 30 minutes before you start to spread the garlic butter on them. If you try to spread the butter on them while they’re frozen, the butter won’t stick. 

How to Make Garlic Parmesan Monkey Bread

Combine the softened butter together with the garlic powder, dried parsley and onion powder in a mixing bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese and combine well.

Using a butter knife, spread the garlic Parmesan butter on each individual roll covering each roll well. Coat a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Begin layering the buttered rolls in the bundt pan.

How to Bake the Bread

Allow the rolls to rise and double in size before baking. This step can take anywhere from 60 minutes to 90 minutes depending on how warm your kitchen is.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

Tips for making Garlic Parmesan Monkey Bread

  • You can use any biscuits, but I like Parkerhouse Style Rolls.  They’re available in the freezer section of your local grocery store.
  • There are 24 rolls in the frozen package and I used all 24 to make this recipe. 
  • I’ve made this recipe using canned refrigerator rolls, but the taste is so much better if you use frozen dinner rolls.
  • Grease the bundt pan, or cake pan, with non-stick cooking spray really well.  You don’t want the bread sticking to the sides of the pan.
  • Rising time really depends on how warm your kitchen temperature is. It can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes for the dough to double in size.
  • Serve with extra garlic butter on the side because you can never have enough of this amazing spread.

    I saw this show once (I forget the name) where kid bakers made monkey bread and I thought I should be making my own! They’re the easiest and most addicting things aren’t they? These look delicious. Yummy garlic butter too.

    Let’s hear it for savory!!YAY! I can almost smell the aroma of those rolls as they’re baking. So yummy. I love the idea of having frozen bread on hand for emergencies when I don’t have time to make bread or rolls from scratch. I know the family will love this version of monkey bread.

    Could I butter while still frozen the day before and let thaw for the next day use?

      I’ve never tried that! I’m not sure the butter would stick to the frozen rolls. If you do try, let me know how it turns out. Thank you for visiting.

    Quick question: How many rolls are in a frozen bag? Should I put 24? 36? 12? rolls in bundt pan? Might do the rest plain in cupcake tins … for non garlic fans! Thanksgiving 2018

      I use the frozen package of Bridgeford Parkerhouse Style Rolls. There are 24 rolls in the package and I used all of them for this recipe. The size package is 25 ounce. Thank you for visiting. I hope this helps answer your question!

    I'm liking this savory take on the usual monkey bread! And you've got some great ideas for shortcuts instead of making everything from scratch. 🙂

      As I once told my Mother (who always asked if something I bought to dinners was made from scratch); “Mother, scratch is what you do if you itch.”😊
