Make-Ahead Monkey Bread

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breakfast Frozen Bread Dough
Freezer Meals

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
24 frozen dough balls -- (one loaf's worth
-- of, divided)
-- dough
sauce
1 stick butter -- melted
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar

About 8 hours before serving, or night before, combine first two ingredients in
a bowl. Remove 24 frozen dough balls from freezer and wet them slightly before
adding to sugar/cinnamon mixture. Stir to coat and dump into a Bundt pan spray
ed w/cooking spray. Melt butter and add remaining sauce ingredients in a small
bowl and pour over dough. Cover with a towel and let rise 8 hours or overnight.

Bake 350 for about 30 minutes. Place large plate on top and invert bread onto p
late. Let cool only long enough that you don't get burned - this is best when h
ot.

Note: I've always gotten my frozen dough balls by defrosting one store-bought f
rozen bread dough loaf just until I can cut through it w/a knife (about 1 1/2 h
ours), then divide into 24 equal pieces. I then flash freeze and store in Ziplo
c until I need them (don't know if it's bad to defrost dough and freeze w/out c
ooking like it is w/meat but we haven't had a problem). Soon, I plan on trying
the recipe posted here recently that makes 2 loaves +16 balls and just saving u
p the balls until I'm ready to make t
he bread. You can play around a lot w/amount of butter, cinnamon and sugar, the
one I posted above is already cut down, if you want it really gooey and butter
y then use one and a half sticks of butter.
