Chorizo Monkey Bread
This savoury pull apart bread is full of creamy cheesy chorizo 😋
Ingredients
- 1 (12oz) pizza dough
- Cornmeal, for dashing your working surface
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, grated
- Cooking spray
Chorizo Mixture
- EVOO
- 1 lb ground chorizo
- ¼ red onion, cut into slices
- 4.5oz can chopped green chiles
- 8 oz cream cheese
Sour Cream Dip
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 lime, zest & juice
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 dash hot sauce, I used Louisiana Hot Sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Chorizo Mixture
- Begin by warming the EVOO and add the ground chorizo. Cook for a few minutes, breaking up the chorizo.
- Add the onion and cook until the onions are translucent and the chorizo is cooked.
- Now add the chopped green chiles and cream cheese and stir together until the cream cheese is mostly melted.
- Set aside until you're ready to stuff into the pizza dough.
Prepare the Lime Cream
- Add the ingredients to a small mixing bowl and combine together. Set aside until you're ready to serve.
Prepare the Chorizo Dough Balls
- Begin by stretching the pizza dough and preheating the oven to 375 degrees.. Use cornmeal to prevent the dough from sticking to the work surface.
- Cut the pizza dough into 2x2 squares.
- Now add a spoonful of the chorizo to the center of each pizza square.
- Pinch each square into a ball and begin adding the balls to greased bundt pan. As each layer is created, add a layer of mozzarella cheese and continue to add the dough balls.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown brown.
- Allow to cool slightly and serve with the lime cream. Enjoy & cheers 🍻!
Notes
- This Monkey Bread has some heat, but if you like heat and/or chorizo this is for you!
- You could also add cilantro to your lime cream, I didn't have any on hand which is why it isn't included in the recipe.
