Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters, creating approximately equal-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, and salt. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and sesame seeds. Stir well to evenly distribute the sesame seeds throughout the cheese mixture.
Working in batches, dip each piece of biscuit dough into the melted butter mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, roll the buttered dough piece in the Parmesan-sesame mixture until coated. Shake off any excess cheese and seeds.
Place the coated dough pieces into the prepared bundt pan, packing them gently to form an even layer. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces until the pan is filled. Pour any leftover butter mixture over the top for extra flavor.
Bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for 25β30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through. You can test the center pieces with a toothpick to ensure doneness.
Remove the bundt pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5β10 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate and lift it away to release the bread.
Serve the sesame Parmesan monkey bread warm. It pulls apart easily for a fun, shareable appetizer or side dish.
