The Best Monkey Bread

For the rolled dough:

For the topping:

• 1 1/2 sticks of butter
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 3/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of pecans (or as many as you want or none at all!)

First, turn your oven to 350 degrees.

Second, grease a bundt pan or if you don’t have a bundt pan, you can use a 13 x 9 pan.  

(Just so you know, the bundt pan makes it super pretty looking!)

For the rolled dough:

Slice the dough into small pieces about the size of a quarter.  In a separate container, make a mixture of cinnamon & sugar to make a delicious cinnamon sugar mixture.  I really just eyeball my measurements, but I would measure about 1 cup of sugar to 2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon.  Place the cinnamon sugar mixture into a bag.  Roll the biscuits in melted butter in a bowl before placing in the cinnamon sugar mixture in the bag.  In several shifts, add the biscuits to the bag.  Zip & shake.  Place the coated dough pieces into the pan.

For the topping:

In a saucepan, combine the 1 1/2 stick of butter, 3/4 cup of sugar, & 3/4 cup of brown sugar.  Stir together as the butter melts.  Bring to a rolling boil.  Add pecans (if you want).  Pour the sauce over the dough.  

Place the pan onto a cookie sheet just in case it over flows & you don’t start a fire.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-45 minutes until it is a deep brown color on top.  

Take out of oven.  Let cool for about 10-20 minutes.  Turn the pan over & the monkey bread should just pop right out.

Seriously, this is awesome.  Yes, there will be a sugar high with your children, but it’s totally worth it because it is that good.  This would make a great Mother’s Day brunch recipe, just forward it along to your husband so he can do the cooking instead of you.  I hope you enjoy this recipe & would love to see if you have any breakfast favorites!
