Monkey Bread
Description
Monkey Bread begins by cutting canned buttermilk biscuits into quarters, which are then shaken with granulated sugar and cinnamon to evenly coat each piece. The coated biscuits are layered into a greased bundt pan, creating a mound of individual dough bits. A mixture of melted butter and brown sugar is heated to a boil, forming a caramel-like sauce that is poured over the biscuit pieces prior to baking.
Baked at 350°F for around 35 minutes, the biscuits expand and bake together under the sugary butter sauce, creating a soft, sticky bread with pockets of cinnamon sweetness and a lightly crisped exterior. After resting briefly, the bread is inverted onto a plate, resulting in a pull-apart style dessert or breakfast bread that serves warm for best texture and flavor.
Leftovers can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for several days and reheated briefly to regain the warm, gooey texture characteristic of fresh Monkey Bread.
Ingredients
- 2 cans buttermilk biscuits 10 ct
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 10" bundt pan with a non stick cooking spray.
- Remove the biscuits from the packaging and cut them into 4 pieces each.
- Place the biscuit pieces into a large zip lock bag. Add the granulated sugar and cinnamon to the bag. Do not remove the air from the bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat the biscuits with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Then place the biscuit pieces into the bundt pan.
- Place the butter and brown sugar in a small sauce pan. Then heat over medium high. Whisk the ingredients together and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Pour the brown sugar and butter mixture over the biscuits in the bundt pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes or golden brown and the center is no longer doughy.
- Then let the pan set for 5-10 minutes and then carefully invert onto a pan to serve.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover Monkey Bread at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days.
- Reheat leftovers for 20-30 seconds to restore warmth and gooey texture.
