Cooking Tips:
Use refrigerated biscuit dough for a shortcut, or make your own yeasted dough if you want that from-scratch magic.
Grease your bundt pan thoroughly—Monkey Bread has a tendency to stick if you miss a spot!
Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before flipping to help it hold its shape (and save your fingers from molten sugar).
Serving Suggestions:
Serve warm with a drizzle of cream cheese glaze or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Pair with fresh fruit and coffee for a cozy brunch spread.
Bring it to a potluck or holiday gathering—just add napkins and watch it vanish! ✨
