Why You’ll Love This Pioneer Woman Monkey Bread

Easy to make ahead: This dish may be prepared the night before so you can just pop it in the oven in the morning. Or, because it takes so little time to prepare, you may make this monkey bread the very morning you plan to eat it.
Even though I’ve used homemade biscuit dough in my recipes for Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread and Apple Fritter Monkey Bread, using a can of biscuit dough is the simplest way to make monkey bread.

Everyone should treat yourself to this delicacy at least once. It is gooey, delightfully sweet, and everyone’s favorite.

What Is Breakfast Monkey Bread?

The classic American version of monkey bread is a sweet, sticky, and squishy bread that is served for breakfast or as a snack. It’s made of small pieces of soft baked dough that have been dusted with cinnamon. You may usually find it for sale during a fair or festival.

Pioneer Woman Monkey Bread Ingredients

Biscuit Dough. You will require a total of 24 ounces of biscuit dough for this recipe. I use three tubes of Trader Joe’s canned buttermilk biscuits, each containing 8 ounces of biscuit dough. The act of opening those pressurized cans is comparable to being put through torture for me, but I force myself to do it anyway. If you live outside the United States and are unable to find canned biscuit dough, you can either make your own homemade dough or use pizza or bread dough, even though the finished product will have a slightly more dry flavor.

Sugar. in its granulated form as well as sugar in its golden brown form.
Butter. One cup of butter is being used. That makes two of them! You won’t regret it.
Cinnamon. of course, is another component. If you’re familiar with the rest of my recipes, you’ll know that I frequently replace cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice; therefore, you are free to do the same thing with this recipe if that’s what you prefer.

How To Make Pioneer Woman Breakfast Monkey Bread

To prepare the pan, butter the inside of a Bundt or fluted tube pan very thoroughly (12-cup capacity). Bring the temperature in the oven up to 350 degrees.
Get the dough ready by separate the biscuits and cut each one into four even pieces so that they may be eaten easily. Granulated sugar and cinnamon can be mixed together in a basin or a plastic bag.
Each piece of dough should be drop rolled in the sugar and cinnamon mixture and then shaken around to coat it. Place the cinnamon-sugar biscuit pieces in the prepared pan in a carefully arranged pattern.

To make the syrup, bring the butter and brown sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add the remaining sugar-cinnamon combination, which amounts to a half cup (discard remaining or use for another recipe).
Butter should melt easily over low heat, and the mixture should be brought to a boil before being removed from the stove immediately. Stir the mixture until all of the sugar has dissolved. Be careful not to let the syrup burn; the goal here is to assist the sugar in dissolving. The warm mixture should be drizzled over the rolled dough balls that are in the pan in a careful manner.
Arrange the pan so that it is centered in the oven when it has been preheated, and bake for around thirty minutes. The time may be different; please see the note below.

After letting the pan sit undisturbed for about five minutes, cover it with a heavy plate and turn it upside down. To eat, simply pull off the desired amount with your fingers (like a monkey would), and then indulge in the sticky, sweet, and devilishly delicious treat.

Recipe Tips

Prepare everything but the baking the night before. Put the lid on it and put it in the fridge. Prep and bake in the morning as recommended (may need a few extra minutes if its cold).
Get the kids involved! Although adults should be responsible for heating and melting the butter, kids can help by cutting the dough with kitchen scissors and dipping the dough balls in the cinnamon sugar.

The oven and pan you use will affect the cooking time. Keep frying until the tops are golden brown and crunchy. A thermometer reading of 190 degrees Fahrenheit in the center will ensure that the monkey bread is cooked through and not doughy. If the monkey bread is browning too quickly on top but the internal temperature is still below 190 degrees Fahrenheit, reduce the oven temperature or tent with foil.

FAQ Section

What Does Monkey Bread Taste Like?

A breakfast treat known as “monkey bread” is a sugary, gooey, cinnamon-sugar confection that is made with biscuit dough purchased in a tube from the grocery store and a lot of butter.

Is Monkey Bread Supposed To Be Doughy?

When I want to know if the monkey bread is ready, I usually take a few pieces from the center and stir them around to see if they are still too doughy. In such case, you should be fine to go! Just do not over-bake! You don’t want your monkey bread to be dry and crumbly; rather, you want it to be really gooey and wonderful.

Why Is My Monkey Bread Not Cooking In The Middle?

The temperature that you have the oven set at is too high. Although the temperature may indicate that it is preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, tests have shown that oven temperatures can vary by as much as 75 degrees Fahrenheit in either direction! If your oven runs hot, the crust of your bread may brown and bake before the interior has had a chance to finish cooking. This happens when the crust browns faster than the interior.

How Can You Tell When It’s Done?

It can be challenging to determine when the monkey bread has reached the proper level of doneness. The amount of time it takes to cook something can always change depending on factors such as the size of the pan, the temperature of the dough when it is first added, where it is placed in the oven, and so on.

Can You Make Monkey Bread Ahead Of Time?

Yes. It is possible to prepare it in advance. Follow the instructions on the recipe to the letter, then place the finished product in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it. It is important to keep in mind that you will either need to extend the cooking time or wait until it has reached a temperature closer to that of room temperature before baking it.

What Kind Of Pan Is Best?

Due to the round form with an open center, this monkey bread recipe is ideal when baked in a Bundt pan or a fluted tube pan. You can also use a tube pan. Additionally, you are free to use a variety of additional deep baking dishes. Just make sure that they have a capacity of at least 12 cups each.
