Cheese Filled Pretzel Monkey Breads

If you've never tried monkey bread, you are in for a treat. It's essentially cut up bits of refrigerated biscuit dough, tossed in butter and seasonings and then baked in a bundt pan. And while it's traditionally served up sweet (as in this streusel-topped version), it's equally delicious as a savory snack too.

I really wanted to ramp up the flavors for this recipe, and decided to fill each bit of dough with some cheese (because, let's face it – you can never go wrong with cheese, am I right?).

And while we're on the subject of savory snacks, is there anything better than a soft pretzel?

A quick baking soda bath gives the dough a pretzel-like finish as it bakes in the oven. Delicious.

This recipe is a beautiful example of how just a few simple ingredients can turn out a mouthwatering treat that even the most novice cook can create!
