Easy Monkey Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray with Pam one 9 or 10 inch tube/Bundt® pan.
• 2. Mix Splenda and cinnamon in a plastic bag.
• Cut biscuits into quarters.
• Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the splenda cinnamon mix.
• Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan. If using nuts and craisins, arrange them in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along.
• In a small saucepan, melt the margarine with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the biscuits.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
• Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate.
• Do not cut! The bread just pulls apart and eat with your finger. Might need a fork to start because it is hot and sticky good!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube/Bundt® pan.
• Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan. If using nuts and raisins, arrange them in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along.
• In a small saucepan, melt the margarine with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the biscuits.

Steps:

• The night or several hours before, grease and flour a 9 or 10 inch tube pan. Mix brown sugar and pudding mix together. Mix white sugar and cinnamon together. Place frozen dinner rolls in pan a layer at a time. Sprinkle brown sugar and pudding mix over first layer of rolls. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon mixture over the brown sugar and pudding mixture. Spread half the nuts and melted butter over first layer. Repeat with the next layer.
• Place on counter over night. Do not cover. Next morning bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes. Let stand a few minutes and turn pan over onto serving platter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 8 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In a bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and the white sugar until evenly blended. Remove the biscuits from the packages, and cut into quarters. Drop a few biscuit pieces at a time into the sugar mixture, and coat thoroughly. Distribute the coated biscuit pieces among the prepared muffin tins (4 to 5 pieces per cup).
• Place butter, brown sugar, and the remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl, and microwave a few seconds until the butter has melted. Stir to blend, and drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture over each cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the muffins are crispy and brown, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Steps:

• Cut each biscuit in quarters and shake in mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
• Drop into a bundt pan or angel food cake that has been sprayed with a non stick coating.
• In a small pan combine topping ingredients and bring to a boil. Pour over biscuits in the pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.
• Turn out onto a plate when done.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch tube pan.
• Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut pizza dough into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Shake 6 to 8 pieces of dough in the sugar-cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in bottom of prepared pan. Continue until all dough pieces are coated and placed in pan. Arrange nuts and raisins in and among dough pieces.
• Melt butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over dough; let rise for 30 minutes.
• Bake in preheated oven until bread is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Pull apart pieces of bread to eat.

Steps:

• Line a 5-qt. slow cooker with a piece of aluminum foil, letting ends extend up the sides. Grease foil., Combine the sugars, cinnamon and allspice in a large bowl; sprinkle 3 tablespoons sugar mixture in bottom of prepared slow cooker. Add biscuit pieces to bowl; toss to coat. Transfer coated biscuits to slow cooker; sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over biscuits. , Stir together butter, apple juice and extracts; pour over biscuits. , Cook, covered, on low 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Remove lid and let stand for 10 minutes. Carefully invert onto serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with pecans.

Steps:

• GREASE or spray 12-cup Bundt cake pan.
• MIX granulated sugar & cinnamon in 1-gallon bag. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Shake quarters in bag to coat; place in pan. Mix melted butter & brown sugar; pour over biscuit pieces.
• BAKE at 350'F for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 to 10 minutes. Turn pan upside down onto serving plate. Serve warm. (12 servings).
• **Add walnuts, pecans, raisins, or diced apples to pan before adding biscuits &/or sprinkle between layers for a little extra treat!

Steps:

• Heat the water to between 105 and 115 degrees F.
• If working with kids, explain that this temperature will wake up the yeast but not kill it.
• Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl.
• Stir in the sugar, oil, salt and egg.
• Stir in 1 cup of flour until smooth.
• This is officially known as a"sponge" since it does not have all the flour of the final dough.
• Cover with a dishcloth and set in a warm place (over a bowl of warm water, in a slightly warm oven, in the microwave beside a cup of warm water, etc.).
• Let rise for 15 minutes. NOTE: If the sponge is not bubbly and increased in volume, either the yeast was bad, the water was too hot, or the water was too cold). THROW IT AWAY - it will not make palatable bread! If you are sure that the water was the correct temperature (and you did not set the bowl to rise in a hot oven (smile)) get some new yeast.
• This is useful time for cleanup and setting up for kneading.
• Grease a square 9 inch pan.
• If you want to make monkey bread, use a ring pan or a bundt pan and do not grease it.
• Stir down the sponge (ooh and aah over how much it has grown first!) and add 1 1/2 cups flour.
• Blend until well mixed.
• Turn out onto a floured surface.
• Knead 3 minutes adding flour if the dough is sticky.
• If using the square pan, divide the dough into 16 pieces (good math exercise!), and shape quickly into balls.
• If making monkey bread, divide the dough into 32 pieces (more math) and shape quickly into balls.
• For the square pan, arrange the balls in the pan and smear tops with softened margarine.
• For the monkey bread, roll each ball in melted margarine before arranging the balls in the ring or bundt pan.
• Cover the pan with the dishcloth and set back in the warm place (described above).
• Let rise for 25 minutes (depending on the timing with kids, I have been successful with as little as 20 minutes and as long as 30.) Preheat oven to 425°F (move the pan first if that is where the dough is rising, of course).
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light brown.
• Remove from pan to a rack or plate to cool.
• To make them even better (and more fattening), brush the tops with melted butter.
• If you made monkey bread, eat the bread like a monkey by pulling off chunks.
• The monkey bread is also excellent if you roll each dough ball in cinnamon sugar after rolling in margarine and before placing in the pan.
• This makes a good breakfast bread.
