hello and welcome back to you in the kitchen with Matt I am your host Matt Taylor today I'm gonna show you how to make monkey bread mmm yummy I love monkey bread I had a request to make monkey bread or a monkey roll so here we go that's what we're gonna do super super simple to do if I can do it you can do it let's get baking first let's go ahead and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 176 Celsius next what we're gonna do is we are going to take this a big bowl here and we're going to put in our sugar this is 3/4 cup of white granulated sugar and then our cinnamon this is 3 teaspoons of cinnamon let's mix this up really well great set this aside now we want to prep our dough this is just biscuit dough that's pre-made that comes in a container this is the simple part now you can use whatever dough that you want why am I not making it from scratch because I have several dough recipes already you can pick pretty much any of those dough recipes and use those if you want if you want to use the dough for my cinnamon roll recipe you could use that dough for this whatever you'd like to do this just helps with the ease of this particular recipe so we want to open these up always the fun part is opening these up all right sometimes it a little hard to open and then we're just going to take these out I also have a homemade biscuit dough recipe that you can use that as well now we want to cut these into four pieces you could use a pizza roller like this if you want or we could use a dough cutter like this if you want or use a knife easy-peasy so you want to do that with all of them and then you're gonna take your cinnamon and sugar mixture and we're just going to plop these in there you could also use a big ziploc bag and put your cinnamon sugar in there so I'm just going to put one of them in right now just kind of toss it you can come in here with your hands and just get them all nice and coated again if you don't want to touch the dough then just use a ziplock bag so I'm going to go ahead and do that with the rest of these and then we'll go to that point nice so I have them all done don't these look awesome I know what you're thinking that's a lot of sugar yes it is now we want to take our butter go down below I'll list all the ingredients they're really easy they weere remember and you could like use a lesson one or more the other this is really versatile this recipe and now we want to take our brown sugar or you could use white sugar if you like this is 3/4 cup and put it in with our butter this will make our caramel sauce then just take a fork or your whisk and just come in here and let's get this all mixed together well set that aside and now we take our bundt cake pan and I sprayed this with kitchen spray if you don't have one of these and you could use just use like a muffin pan and then you'll put like two or three of these little pieces in the muffin pan and you'll have little mini ones if you want so let's just go ahead and we're going to put these in here and now what we're going to do is we're just going to go ahead and pour our butter and our our butter and our sugar I don't usually use all of it a nice gooey mist now we're gonna bake this in the oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit like I mentioned for 25 to 30 minutes until it gets nice and golden brown on the top and it's gonna puff up it's gonna be awesome all right and when it comes out of the oven it'll look something like this nice now we're gonna let this sit and cool for about five to ten minutes now what we want to do after it's been resting for a while the bowl is still a little warm and I can see that there are there is a little bit of liquid caramel in there that's okay so what you do is you can take like a a sheet pan and put it underneath just to catch any extra and then you could just turn it over right on top of this if you want I like to take a plate a plate that has like a lip on it like this because that will catch excess caramel as wet well and we just go ahead and flip it over like that and then the extra caramel is gonna yeah Wow yummy yummy yummy look at that now this monkey bread or pull-apart bread it's meant to be eaten warm you could also do like a glaze and you can put it on top kind of like what you would would you for like cinnamon rolls really really cool I'm gonna come in here grab a piece and just show you look at that all nice and gooey it's soaked up that buttery caramel all right the monkey bread is done turned out amazing a couple of things to note you could use less butter and sugar if you like to go on top you can also add pecans so if you are gonna use pecans you would take your bundt pan and you would put pecans down in the bottom of the pan first before adding the pieces of dough a really easy recipe again you could put a different topping on if you want glaze cream cheese frosting whatever you want to do I'm Matt Taylor this has been another episode of in the kitchen with Matt thank you
