#dinnerrolldough

This monkey bread is all about ease and flexibility. I made the dough fresh for this video using half of my dinner roll recipe (the other half became rolls), but you can absolutely use frozen dinner roll dough or two cans of biscuit dough if that’s what you have. The best part? You can prep it the night before, cover it, refrigerate it, and bake it fresh the next morning. A little prep work turns into a warm, buttery, pull-apart breakfast with almost no effort. 🧈 Monkey Bread Ingredients • 30 oz dough (homemade dinner roll dough below, frozen roll dough, or 2 cans biscuit dough) • 1 cup granulated sugar • 2 teaspoons cinnamon • 1 cup butter • ½ cup brown sugar 👩‍🍳 Monkey Bread Instructions 1. Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan. 2. Cut dough into bite-sized pieces. 3. Toss dough in sugar and cinnamon until fully coated. 4. Place coated dough evenly in the Bundt pan. 5. In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar with ½ cup of the leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture, stirring until smooth (do not boil). 6. Pour caramel mixture evenly over the dough. Make-Ahead Option • Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. • Bake 40–45 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Same-Day Bake • Bake immediately at 350°F for about 30 minutes. 7. Rest 5 minutes, invert onto a plate, and serve warm. 🍞 Homemade Dinner Roll Dough (Use Half for Monkey Bread, Half for Rolls) Ingredients • 2½ cups warm water • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted • 2 teaspoons salt • ½ cup sugar • 1 egg • 7 cups all-purpose flour Instructions 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let sit 3–5 minutes until foamy. 2. Add melted butter, salt, sugar, egg, and flour. 3. Mix until combined, then knead for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. 4. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise 40 minutes, or until doubled. 5. Punch down dough and divide as desired. For Rolls: • Shape into about 35 rolls, place on a greased baking sheet, cover, and rise 30 minutes. • Bake at 350°F for 22–25 minutes, until golden.
