Monkey Bread!



When I was in college, say 20 years ago( yes,I am old..lol) Monkey Bread was all the rage. With a few cans of biscuit dough, brown sugar, and an oven, you could satisfy your sweet tooth.

Saturday is my baking day, and last Saturday I required something sweet. All I had in the house was a pkg of Grandpa's Kitchen Bread Mix on my pantry shelf, so I decided to give it a go.

The only thing I modified from the package instructions was I used 1.5 cups of milk, instead of the yogurt it calls for.
In addition, I melted 4 TBSP butter in shallow bowl, and prepped some cinnamon-sugar for rolling the balls of dough.
I basically used my smallest pampered chef cookie scoop, and dipped the dough balls in the butter, then rolled them in brown sugar.
I packed them loosely into a greased bundt pan, and let them rise for 45 minutes.


Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and bake the bread for 25 minutes. Cool the monkey bread in the pan for three minutes, then invert onto a plate, and enjoy!
