- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. This is the perfect temperature for ensuring that your Monkey Bread bakes evenly and turns out beautifully golden brown.
- Grease a Bundt pan with non-stick spray and set it aside. A well-greased pan ensures that your bread will release easily once baked, maintaining its lovely shape.
- In a large plastic bag, mix together the white sugar and cinnamon. This mixture will create a delightful coating for the biscuit pieces.
- Cut the biscuit dough into quarters. This allows for the dough to soak in all the sweet flavors. Place the biscuit pieces in the bag containing the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- After adding all the pieces, give the bag a vigorous shake to ensure each piece is coated in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Make sure they don’t clump together; you want each piece to be deliciously sweet.
- Spread the coated biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared Bundt pan. Arrange them in a way that allows them to rise and expand as they bake.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until it begins to boil, then remove from the stove after about one minute. This step creates a luscious syrup that will seep into the biscuit pieces.
- Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces in the Bundt pan, making sure to cover them evenly. This step is key to achieving that decadent flavor.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and golden. The sweet aroma wafting through your kitchen will be hard to resist!
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This waiting period is crucial for allowing the bread to firm up slightly.
- Finally, turn the Monkey Bread out onto a plate and enjoy it warm. The gooey, sweet pieces will pull apart beautifully, making it hard to stop at just one!
Notes
When storing leftovers, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can freeze your baked Monkey Bread. Wrap it tightly and it will last up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Feel free to experiment with different flavorings, such as nutmeg or add chocolate chips for a sweet twist. Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture that contrasts beautifully with the soft bread. Drizzle a cream cheese frosting over the warm bread for an extra indulgent treat.
