Easy Pizza Monkey Bread, Main Dish or Appetizer image

This can be made with canned biscuits as a crust which makes it quicker but not nearly as good. This recipe came from a local newspaper several years ago. I like to use it for an appetizer or snack. It makes a lot so its good for parties, potlucks, or family gatherings. Don't use too many topping ingredients or dough will get soggy. Choose your favorite 2 or 3 for best results. Also rising time for yeast dough is not included in prep time or baking time. Rising adds an hour to this recipe. Everyone likes this, especially those young in body or mind. :)
