Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • Frozen biscuit dough (soft and airy base)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Butter Mixture

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly blended to create a fragrant coating for the dough balls.
  2. Cut and Roll the Dough: Separate the frozen biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into walnut-sized pieces and roll each piece gently between your palms to form smooth balls.
  3. Coat Dough Balls with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Melt unsalted butter with brown sugar and vanilla extract over low heat until bubbly and smooth. Dip each dough ball into the butter mixture, then roll it thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
  4. Layer in the Baking Dish: Grease a bundt pan or round baking dish well. Arrange the coated dough balls evenly in layers to ensure gooey pockets throughout the baked bread.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through. The aroma will fill your kitchen delightfully.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the monkey bread cool for about 10 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving plate so the caramelized cinnamon sugar coating is showcased. Serve warm and enjoy the pull-apart magic.

Notes

  • Cut dough pieces uniformly for consistent baking and texture.
  • Be generous with the cinnamon sugar coating for maximum flavor and crunch.
  • Use a bundt pan to help create layers and gooey pockets.
  • Ensure butter is melted but not too hot to avoid pre-cooking the dough.
  • Allow the bread to cool slightly before removing from the pan to prevent sticking.
