Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 16 ounces pre-made biscuit dough
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
Liquid Ingredients:
- ½ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat a 10-inch bundt pan with cooking spray.
- Combine 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl, stirring until completely blended.
- Pour ½ cup melted butter into a separate shallow dish for coating the dough.
- Tear open the 16-ounce biscuit dough package and slice each biscuit into 4 equal quarters.
- Roll each quarter between your palms to create small, uniform dough balls.
- Dunk each dough ball first into the melted butter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Immediately roll the buttered ball through the cinnamon-sugar mixture, rotating to coat every surface.
- Carefully place the coated dough balls into the greased bundt pan, creating layers.
- Optional: Sprinkle ¼ cup chopped pecans or chocolate chips between dough ball layers for extra texture.
- Allow the assembled monkey bread to rest in a warm kitchen spot for 25-30 minutes.
- Slide the pan into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until tops are deep golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let the monkey bread cool inside the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate, allowing the bread to release completely.
- Pull apart the sticky, sweet sections and serve while still warm.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easier coating and smoother dough ball rolling.
- Refrigerated biscuit dough works best for quick preparation and consistent texture.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon-sugar mixture between layers for more intense flavor and caramelization.
- Let the bread cool slightly before serving to prevent burning your fingers when pulling apart the sticky, delicious pieces.
