YEAST PULL-APART BROWN SUGAR MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Generously grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan (or an angel food pan).
• Cut the dough into 20 even pieces then shape into small balls (just a bit smaller than a golf ball).
• In a bowl mix together both sugars with cinnamon (if using).
• Dip each ball of dough into the melted butter, then coat in the sugar/cinnamon mixture.
• Place the ball in the loaf pan.
• Repeat with remaining dough balls, stacking up the balls of dough in the pan (the balls will stack on top of each other).
• Sprinkle the top with a bit of sugar mixture.
• Cover and let rise until the balls are just over the top of the pan (about 50 minutes to 1 hour, it will depend on the temperature of your room).

CHEESEBURGER MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Stir together the ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles and mustard in a medium bowl. Season with salt and set aside.
• Arrange the bacon in a large skillet and heat over medium. Cook until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; pour the drippings out of the skillet and reserve for another use. Cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. When it starts to shimmer, add the ground beef, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned in spots and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring constantly, until just translucent and tender, about 2 minutes. Use a large slotted spoon to scoop the meat mixture into a medium bowl, leaving the liquid behind. Stir in 1 cup of the ketchup sauce. Let cool slightly. Fold in the chopped American cheese.
• Put the sesame seeds in a shallow bowl.
• Separate each biscuit into 2 thinner rounds (the dough is layered, so it will divide easily). Flatten a piece of dough between your hands. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the ground beef mixture into the center of the dough and top with a piece of bacon. Gather the dough around the filling and seal into a little ball. Dip the smooth bottom of the ball into the sesame seeds. Place the ball into the prepared bundt pan, seed-side down, and repeat until the bottom of the pan is covered. Split the remaining biscuits and stuff with the bacon and filling using the same method -- but don't dip in the sesame seeds. Add to the bundt pan in an even layer.
• Bake the monkey bread until golden brown and the balls are no longer doughy, 50 to 55 minutes. Invert onto a platter and remove the pan. Let rest for 10 minutes. Serve warm with the remaining ketchup sauce for dipping.

BREAKFAST BUNDT BREAD (AKA MONKEY BREAD AKA PULL-APART BREAD)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F (350°F if using a glass bundt pan).
• Grease bundt pan with softened tablespoon of butter (you may need more depending on the size of your bundt pan, DO NOT SUBSTITUTE - the butter mixes with the sugar mixture on the outside of the bread, making it gooey).
• Roll biscuit half into a ball and let stand at room temperature.
• In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and both 1/2 cups of pecans.
• Roll each biscuit ball in butter and then in sugar mixture (I usually do a handful of biscuit balls at a time).
• Layer balls in bundt pan; if you have extra butter and sugar mixture, mix together and pour over bread.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and up-end onto serving plate.
• Place icing by spoonfuls on top of hot bread; allow to melt and cover the sides and center of bread; icing will pool in dish, use for dipping.
