Monkey Bread

  • Prep time: 2 Hours 30 Minutes
  • Cook time: 30 Minutes
  • Total time: 3 Hours
  • Servings: 1 Loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 Loaf Homemade Bread Dough (or 3 8oz cans of buttermilk biscuits)
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Cup (2 Sticks) Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar, packed

Directions

  • Prepare Bundt pan by heavily greasing with butter. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • If using biscuits, cut each biscuit into four equal sized pieces. If using bread dough, break off pieces and roll into balls about 1-2 inches in size.

  • Combine 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a bowl or plastic bag. Drop roll the pieces of dough in the sugar cinnamon mixture and gently arrange them into the prepared Bundt pan.

  • In a small sauce pan, combine 1/2 cup of the remaining sugar cinnamon mixture with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 cup butter. Bring mixture just to a boil and then immediately remove from heat. Carefully drizzle the mixture over the rolled dough balls in the Bundt pan.

  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  • Allow pan to rest for about 5 minutes, then cover with a large plate and invert bread. To eat, pull desired amount off with your fingers and enjoy the gooey sweet sinful treat.

Notes

I use the dough from Heather and Melanie’s Giant Cinnamon Buns, which makes 2 loafs of monkey bread.

To prepare the night before, follow all steps except the baking part. Cover and refrigerate. Bake as directed in the morning (may need a few extra minutes if it’s cold).
