Monkey Bread
Description
This Monkey Bread starts with canned biscuit dough cut into quarters and tossed in a cinnamon sugar mixture, which forms a sweet, slightly crisp exterior when baked. Layers of dough pieces alternate with chopped walnuts inside a greased bundt pan to distribute nuts evenly. The sauce is prepared by whisking melted butter with packed brown sugar, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt, creating a thick, grainy coating poured evenly over the dough.
Baked uncovered at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, the biscuits cook through while absorbing the caramelized sauce. After cooling briefly, the bread is inverted onto a serving plate so the sticky topping drips over the individual pull-apart pieces. This warm, sweet bread works well as a breakfast pastry or dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cans Biscuits 16.3 oz. size cans, 16 biscuit rounds total, Pillsbury brand
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup walnuts optional, chopped
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Open cans of biscuits and cut into quarters. Place biscuit pieces into a large bowl or ziploc bag. Top with granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss dough pieces with cinnamon sugar to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup nuts in the bottom of the bundt pan. Top with half of the dough pieces. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup nuts and dough pieces.
- In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk melted butter together with brown sugar, heavy cream and salt. A thick, grainy sauce should form. Pour sauce over dough pieces and spread evenly.
- Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until dough pieces are completely baked. Cool 5-10 minutes. Turn upside down onto serving platter and replace any dough pieces of nuts which may have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can replace walnuts with pecans or almonds, or omit nuts entirely according to preference or allergies.
- Ensure the bundt pan is well greased to help the monkey bread release easily after baking.
