Ingredients :

1 (30 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Prep :

Step 1 : Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a bundt pan by generously coating it with non-stick cooking spray. This is crucial to prevent the monkey bread from sticking to the pan. Make sure to spray every nook and cranny!

Step 2 : Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough. On a clean cutting board, use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut each biscuit into quarters. The smaller pieces will ensure that the monkey bread cooks evenly and that there are plenty of nooks and crannies for the cinnamon sugar to cling to.

Step 3 : In a large zip-top bag, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Seal the bag and shake well to thoroughly mix the two ingredients. This cinnamon sugar mixture is what gives the monkey bread its signature flavor.

Step 4 : Add half of the biscuit quarters to the zip-top bag. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to coat the biscuit pieces evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Make sure that each piece is well-coated, as this will ensure that every bite is bursting with flavor.

Step 5 : Remove the coated biscuit pieces from the bag and arrange them evenly in the prepared bundt pan. Repeat the process with the remaining biscuit quarters and cinnamon sugar mixture, adding them to the pan on top of the first layer.

Step 6 : In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and light brown sugar. Stir well until the brown sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This brown sugar butter sauce is what gives the monkey bread its sticky, gooey texture and rich, caramel-like flavor.

Step 7 : Pour the brown sugar butter sauce evenly over the biscuit pieces in the bundt pan. Make sure to distribute the sauce evenly so that every piece of monkey bread is soaked in its deliciousness.

Step 8 : Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Keep a close eye on the monkey bread as it bakes, as the baking time may vary depending on your oven.

Step 9 : Remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. This will allow the caramel sauce to set slightly and prevent the monkey bread from falling apart when you invert it.

Step 10 : After 10 minutes, carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate. If the monkey bread doesn’t release easily, gently tap the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Step 11 : Serve warm and enjoy! Watch as your family and friends eagerly pull apart the sticky, sweet pieces of monkey bread.
