Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cans of refrigerated biscuit dough
Sugar Coating
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Butter Brown Sugar Glaze
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure a properly heated environment for even baking of the monkey bread.
- Prepare Dough Pieces: Cut each biscuit from the refrigerated dough into quarters to create bite-sized pieces suitable for coating and layering.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the signature sweet and spiced coating.
- Coat Dough: Dip each biscuit quarter into the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure all sides are well covered for maximum flavor.
- Layer in Pan: Arrange the coated dough pieces evenly in a greased bundt pan, layering them closely to form the pull-apart structure.
- Prepare Butter Glaze: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar together over medium heat until smooth and combined, creating a rich glaze.
- Pour Glaze: Evenly pour the butter and brown sugar mixture over the layered dough pieces in the bundt pan, allowing the glaze to seep between the layers.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the monkey bread turns golden brown and is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a plate to serve, allowing the glaze to set slightly for easy pull-apart eating.
