Easy Pear and Stilton Monkey Bread
Lesley created this dish for Great British Bake Off ™ 16. This easier version of her Bread Week signature swaps the enriched from-scratch dough for shop-bought pizza dough and layers the pear, Stilton, and honeyed walnut fillings through the bundt instead of stuffing each individual ball. The seeded crust — sesame, poppy, and nigella — still delivers the showstopping speckled exterior the judges praised.
