Can I make monkey bread without a Bundt pan?

Yes, you can use other baking vessels such as a cake pan, loaf pan, or even a cast iron skillet. Just ensure the pan is large enough to hold the dough and sauce without overflowing. Watch the bake time, as it may vary slightly.

Is it possible to use homemade biscuit dough?

Absolutely. While canned biscuit dough is more convenient, you can substitute with homemade dough. Just make sure the dough is sturdy enough to hold its shape and not too soft or sticky.

How do I know when the monkey bread is done baking?

The top should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. If it's still doughy in the middle, bake for a few more minutes and check again.

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously grease a 9-cup Bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray. This will help the sticky caramel release easily after baking.
Cut and Coat the Dough: Open the biscuit cans and cut each biscuit into four even pieces. Place all the pieces in a large zip-top bag with the sugar and cinnamon. Seal and shake the bag thoroughly until every piece is well coated.
Assemble the Layers: Pour the coated dough pieces into the Bundt pan, distributing them evenly. If you’re adding nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins, layer them in between the dough pieces at this stage.
Make the Caramel Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the brown sugar. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbling, forming a rich caramel sauce.
Pour and Bake: Pour the hot caramel sauce evenly over the biscuit pieces in the pan. Place the Bundt pan on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Flip: Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes (no more, or it may stick). Carefully invert it onto a serving plate and let it cool for another 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Make sure to use a Bundt pan that holds at least 9 cups; anything smaller may overflow. Additions like chopped pecans, walnuts, or chocolate chips can be mixed into the dough for variety. Monkey bread is best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the microwave.
If preparing the night before, refrigerate the assembled (unbaked) pan and let it rest at room temperature before baking.
