Quick Easy Monkey Bread Food

MONKEY BREAD I

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.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) 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.

QUICK AND EASY MONKEY BREAD

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.

QUICK HERB AND CHEESE MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt or tube pan lightly with cooking spray.
• Toss the Parmesan, oregano, garlic, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl until well mixed. Roll each biscuit half into a ball. Put 8 of the balls in a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, tossing until well coated. Transfer each ball to the Parmesan mixture to coat, then place in the prepared pan. Working in batches of 8, repeat with the remaining dough balls, overlapping in the pan as necessary.
• Bake until the dough is puffed and browned, about 50 minutes; check halfway through the baking time and tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly.
• Let the bread cool 10 minutes. Loosen the bread from the sides of the pan with a thin spatula. Invert the pan onto a baking sheet, then flip the bread (decorative-side up) onto a serving plate.

MONKEY BREAD MADE EASY

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.

SUPER EASY MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Cut each biscuit into quarters and toss with melted butter.
• Roll the buttery biscuit dough in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
• Grease a bunt pan well.
• Layer the biscuit pieces into the bundt pan.
• Mix the remaining butter and sugar and cinnamon together.
• Pour over the biscuit pieces.
• Cover bundt pan with foil and bake at 350ºF for 35 minutes.
• Uncover and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the top is golden.
• Allow to cool for 15 minutes then turn out onto a large plate. Be careful there will be melted sugar and butter that will run out or the pan once inverted.
• Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and beat with electric mixer.
• Add more milk as required to make icing to your preferred consistency.
• Drizzle icing over monkey bread as desired. remainder can be used for dipping!

EASY YEAST ROLLS (OR MONKEY BREAD)

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.
