Monkey Bread from Scratch

Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray or additional butter.

Place the dough in the bowl and turn once to lightly coat the dough.

Place the melted butter in a second bowl or shallow pie plate.

All you need to whip up this amazing breakfast bread are a few simple ingredients: butter milk water granulated sugar instant yeast all-purpose flour brown sugar cinnamon confectioners’ sugar

Monkey bread with cinnamon rolls

Dip the balls, one at a time, into melted butter.

Allow the excess butter to drip back into the bowl.

Then roll the butter dipped dough ball in the brown sugar mixture and place in the Bundt pan.

in one bowl mix yeast, butter, milk, sugar

I put it in the fridge at this point and save just the baking for Christmas morning.

Turn out on a platter or large plate and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

While its cooling make the glaze.

mix dry ingredients in a seperate bowl

Whisk the confectioners sugar and milk together in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth.

combine wet and dry ingredients, dough will be slightly sticky

Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray or additional butter. Place the dough in the bowl and turn once to lightly coat the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a moist kitchen toweland let the dough rise until doubled, 1-2 hours.

brown sugar and cinnamon mixture

divide dough into balls

Dip the balls, one at a time, into melted butter. Allow the excess butter to drip back into the bowl. Then roll the butter dipped dough ball in the brown sugar mixture and place in the Bundt pan. Continue dipping, coating, and putting the balls staggering the seams where the dough balls meet as you build layers in the Bundt pan.

When you finish with all 64 balls, cover the Bundt pan tightly with plastic wrap and let the monkey bread rise until puffy and they have risen 1-2 inches from the top of the pan, at least 1-2 hours. I put it in the fridge at this point and save just the baking for Christmas morning.

Set the pan on the counter to let it rise to room temperature while the oven preheats to 350 degrees F. Now unwrap the pan and bake until the top is deep brown and caramel begins to bubble around edges, about 30 to 35 minutes.

Cool the monkey bread in the pan for 5 minutes only (too long and it will be hard to remove!). Turn out on a platter or large plate and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

While it’s cooling make the glaze. Whisk the confectioners’ sugar and milk together in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm monkey bread; letting it run over the top and sides of the bread. Serve warm.

One of our families favorite traditions for Christmas morning is our homemade monkey bread recipe. We use to make it with convenient instant biscuits in a can, but as we became more aware of all of the junk, harmful preservatives and chemicals we knew we needed to make monkey bread from scratch! So after lots of experimenting we came up with the best monkey bread recipe! You’ll love the fabulous old fashioned monkey bread recipe flavor with the beautiful pull apart breakfast bread with a sticky, sweet covering.
