Bacon Monkey Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Crisp bacon over medium heat. Allow it to cool, then crumble.
• Generously grease a large bundt pan with cooking spray.
• In a bowl, mix both kinds of cheese.
• Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Flatten each piece in the palm of your hand and add a pinch of the mixed cheeses and crumbled bacon. Gather the edges and pinch the biscuit into a ball.
• In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic.
• Drop the biscuit pieces in the butter mixture and place in the bundt pan.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden-brown. (Be careful - the butter may begin to smoke toward the end of the bake time. If it begins to smoke, remove from the oven.)
• Let stand for five minutes, then place a heatproof plate on top of the pan. Using a pot holder, flip the pan and plate over and invert onto your serving plate. Be careful as the pan will still be hot.
• Sprinkle with parsley.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain. Combine bacon with cheese and, if desired, onion and green pepper. Cut biscuits into quarters; add to bacon mixture. Stir in butter and toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 10-in. tube pan., Bake until browned, about 30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix Herb Dipping Sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches, with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, salt, 3 tablespoons of the softened butter, the milk, egg, crumbled bacon and cheese. Mixture will be crumbly. Using hands, work the mixture until thick dough forms. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place balls in loaf pan. Drizzle with remaining 3 tablespoons melted butter.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• For the sweet dough: Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it just starts to simmer, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter and granulated sugar until melted. Set aside to cool.
• Put the warm water in a small liquid measuring cup and stir in the yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the milk mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, salt and half the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining flour, mixing until a smooth ball forms. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to knead the dough until very smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray, then place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 60 to 75 minutes.
• For the bacon and assembly: Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve the bacon drippings. Chop the cooked bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Stir together 4 tablespoons of the butter and the brown sugar in a small bowl until combined. Spray a 3-quart Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray, then use a pastry brush to brush the butter-sugar mixture all over the inside of the pan.
• Punch down the dough and invert it onto a worksurface lightly dusted with flour. Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces, then roll into balls (about 36 balls). Microwave the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 1 minute. Add the reserved bacon drippings to the butter and stir to combine. Stir together the granulated sugar, cinnamon and orange zest in another medium bowl. Roll each dough ball first in the melted butter, then coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Layer in the prepared pan, scattering some of the chopped bacon as you go between the layers. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake until the edges are lightly browned and the dough has puffed and started to set, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until well browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes more.
• Let it sit 15 minutes, so it has time to cool slightly, then run a small offset spatula around the edges of the pan and invert the monkey bread onto a serving platter.
• For the orange glaze: Meanwhile, whisk the confectioners' sugar, milk, orange juice and zest together in a small bowl until smooth; it should be thick but pourable. Drizzle over the monkey bread or serve on the side for dipping if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9-inch fluted tube pan with cooking spray.
• Mix white sugar, pudding mix, and cinnamon together in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the quartered biscuits and shake until well coated. Toss in the bacon and shake well to distribute. Transfer biscuits to the prepared tube pan. Save the sugar-cinnamon mixture left in the bottom of the bag.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in dark brown sugar, maple syrup, and salt. Bring mixture to a boil and carefully stir until it begins to foam, about 1 minute. Pour the saved sugar-cinnamon mixture into the saucepan and stir until dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the melted sugar mixture over the biscuits in the tube pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are puffed up and cooked through, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the butter in a medium bowl. Brush the Bundt pan with some of the butter to lightly coat.
• Cut the biscuits into quarters. Combine the Cheddar and powdered cheese mix in a large bowl and stir together.
• Working in batches, toss one-third of the biscuits in the melted butter, roll them in the cheese mixture to lightly coat and add them to the Bundt pan so they are nestled together in an even layer; sprinkle with one-third of the bacon. Repeat to make 2 more layers of biscuits rolled in cheese and the bacon. Sprinkle the top with any leftover cheese mixture and drizzle with any leftover butter.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until puffed and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Loosen the bread from the sides of the pan with a knife or offset spatula. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate, remove the pan and serve hot.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 11-inch oval baking dish with cooking spray.
• Open the biscuits. Cut the biscuits in half horizontally for a total of 16 slices.
• Place one slice in a large bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush the top of the biscuit with maple syrup. Top with 1 teaspoon each of chocolate chips and bacon pieces. Top with another biscuit slice perpendicularly, and press lightly to make them stick. Repeat the process, building a tall stack of biscuit dough, until you're out of biscuit halves. (You won't use all the maple syrup; save 1 tablespoon for the drizzle.)
• Carefully transfer the stack to the prepared baking dish, laying the stack horizontally in the center, and pour any remaining syrup and chocolate over the top. Bake until golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool 10 minutes, then whisk together the melted butter and reserved maple syrup in a medium bowl. Whisk in the powdered sugar until thick, then add the milk and maple extract and whisk until smooth. Drizzle carefully over the bread and let set, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat; add onion, and saute 4 minutes or until golden.
• Heat bacon according to package directions until crisp; crumble.
• Combine bacon, Parmesan cheese, and onion mixture.
• Cut each biscuit into fourths; dip biscuit pieces into 1/4 cup melted butter.
• Arrange one third of biscuit pieces in bottom of a lightly greased 10-inch Bundt pan.
• Sprinkle with half of bacon mixture. Repeat layers once; top with remaining one-third biscuit pieces.
• Bake at 350* for 30 minutes or until golden.
• Cool in pan 10 minutes; invert onto a serving platter; and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Cut half the cheese into 32 small cubes; shred remaining cheese.
• Mix butter, garlic and parsley until blended. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. butter mixture onto bottom of 9-inch round pan sprayed with cooking spray. Place 1 each cheese cube and bacon piece on center of each dough piece; press dough around cheese and bacon until completely enclosed. Place in prepared pan.
• Sprinkle with shredded cheese; drizzle with remaining butter mixture.
• Bake 35 min. or until golden brown. Cool 10 min. before removing from pan to serve.
