If you’re looking for a quick and easy breakfast treat that will stop everyone in their tracks, look no further than this monkey bread recipe. It’ll\u00a0impress everyone at the table, and the best part is that you only need five ingredients to put it together.<\/p>\n
You’ll often see monkey bread made with balls of soft, enriched yeast dough, like this caramel pecan monkey bread<\/a>. However, we use store-bought biscuit dough<\/a>\u00a0as a shortcut for this monkey bread recipe, which makes prep pretty effortless. Thanks to the tube or Bundt pan, it comes out in a ready-to-serve shape that’s perfect for Sunday brunch. Bake it fresh in the morning or prep a batch to warm up and serve later. Either way, you’ll have a soft, tender bread with plenty of sticky-sweet caramel and cinnamon-sugar flavor to enjoy during any season.<\/p>\n Monkey bread<\/a> is a pull-apart treat made of many small dough balls that are shaped and then packed into a dish before being baked. Some say it’s called monkey bread because you pull it apart with your hands to eat it, as monkeys would do.<\/p>\n Monkey bread can be sweet or savory, and can be made with either yeasted or biscuit dough. Sweet versions typically feature the same caramel and cinnamon flavors as cinnamon rolls or morning buns, though some sweet interpretations include nuts, chocolate or glazes. Savory monkey bread recipes can include everything from pizza fixings to herbs, cheese and spices.<\/p>\n Our easy monkey bread recipe is sweet, with the biscuit dough balls rolled in cinnamon sugar, set in a baking dish or Bundt pan, and drizzled with a caramel sauce. Caramel enrobes each ball when it bakes, giving you a delicious, sticky caramel flavor in every bite.<\/p>\n Thanks to its simple ingredients list, this easy monkey bread recipe comes together in a few simple steps. Dough balls are rolled in cinnamon sugar and assembled in a tube pan. Once assembled, you just pour a mixture of brown sugar and melted butter over the top to give it some extra-gooey texture while baking.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Remove the biscuits from the cans and cut each into four pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar. Arrange the balls evenly in a generously greased 9-inch or 10-inch fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.<\/p>\n In the same bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar and pour it over the dough.<\/p>\n Place the tube pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Let the monkey bread cool for five minutes before inverting it onto a serving platter.<\/p>\n Monkey bread is best served fresh and slightly warm. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container or zip-top storage bag. Monkey bread lasts at room temperature for two to three days, or for up to five days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n Yes, prebaked or leftover monkey bread can be kept in the freezer for up to three months, either wrapped in storage wrap and aluminum foil or stored in a freezer bag.<\/p>\n Our monkey bread is quick and easy on purpose. To make it even easier to serve on the day you want to enjoy it, fully make the monkey bread one day in advance and reheat it in the oven for a few minutes until it’s warm.<\/p>\n A fluted tube pan is the best option for monkey bread. Its design makes removing the baked bread from the pan easier. In a pinch, you can also use a Bundt pan<\/a>. Either way, generously grease the pan to help prevent the monkey bread from sticking.<\/p>\n One way to know your monkey bread is done is by the smell of melted butter and cinnamon sugar filling the house. It should have a dark, caramelized appearance, the dough should be firm to the touch, and the whole thing should be bubbly and gooey. This recipe should take about 20 to 25 minutes, but you can check the bread with an instant-read thermometer for doneness. Fully baked monkey bread should read 185\u00b0.<\/p>\n Monkey bread is a wonderful breakfast treat. Serve it on its own or create a spread with other breakfast recipes, such as an egg casserole<\/a> and fresh fruit salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This easy monkey

How can you make this monkey bread recipe your own? <\/h3>Instead of baking in a tube or Bundt pan, try making individual monkey breads in a greased muffin pan. This is a great option if you are serving it for a party or gathering. If you really want to ramp up the sweetness, drizzle some homemade glaze<\/a> over the top while it\u2019s still warm, and let it soak into the nooks and crannies of this delicious monkey bread. Check out other monkey bread recipes<\/a> for inspiration, like upside-down banana monkey bread<\/a> or s'mores monkey bread<\/a>.
How can you tell when monkey bread is done cooking?<\/h3>A golden-brown exterior and the smell of the cinnamon sugar wafting through your kitchen are always good indicators that your monkey bread is probably done. But if you want to be sure every time, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of the bread, and if it reads 185\u00b0F, the monkey bread is done! \r\n
Can you make this monkey bread recipe ahead of time? <\/h3>Absolutely! You can make monkey bread at least a day in advance. Simply reheat it in the oven for a few minutes until warmed through to achieve that freshly baked look every time. The monkey bread can be stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. To freeze, wrap or store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Check out our guide to freezing bread<\/a> for more tips.
