Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and prepare a bundt pan by spraying generously with cooking spray.
  • Cut biscuit dough into quarters, or desired size.
  • In a gallon Ziploc bag, add granulated sugar and cinnamon, then seal and shake to combine.
  • Add 8 to 10 cut pieces of the dough to the Ziploc bag, then seal and shake the bag to coat the dough with the cinnamon sugar.
  • Add the coated pieces to pan and repeat until all dough has been coated and added to the pan.
  • Melt the butter and add brown sugar, stir to thoroughly combine. Pour butter mixture evenly over top of monkey bread.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, place a serving plate inverted on the top of the monkey bread. Holding plate and pan together, carefully flip to invert the Bundt pan. Lift off the pan, leaving the monkey bread on the serving plate.
  • Serve while warm.

Notes

Clean coating: It's less messy to coat the dough pieces in cinnamon sugar if you shake everything together in a gallon Ziploc bag. Alternatively, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl, add the cut dough and toss with a spoon to coat. 
Easy inverting: Put a serving plate over the monkey bread and then flip it to invert. That's the simplest way of getting it onto a plate.
Enjoy warm: You can serve monkey bread cold but it's better warm.
Grease the pan: It is important the pan is well coated with spray; this will ensure an easy release from the pan and a beautiful presentation. 
Slow the browning: The bread might need to be tented with foil for the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking if becoming too dark.
