Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread is small pieces of pizza dough wrapped around a cube of cheese and brushed with melted garlic butter. In other words, made from some of the tastiest foods ever! It is not overly dough-y or overly cheesy, but a nice balance of the two. And the garlic butter really makes it special. The result is a cheese filled garlic mini pizza bread that is made for dipping. Pizza sauce seemed like an obvious dipper, until I realized this Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread is quite similar to mini grilled cheese. What goes best with grilled cheese, but soup of course!
