I bought a container especially for making monkey breads and cake rolls about 2 months ago. I'd never made or ate monkey bread before, so when I went to Target and saw the pan I figured it will be perfect for a project, but I was not much in the mood for baking until today. Now, there are 2 ways to make monkey bread for what I read (I am sure there are more variations) but there is the quick and slow method. I was trying to do the slow one, but I was missing two ingredients so I will have to try that one later. The quick one is as follow:
Turn your oven to 350 F, In a container mix 1 package of 8 oz cream cheese and 4 tsp of cinnamon and 1/3 cup of granulated sugar.
Then, you need 2 packages of buttermilk biscuits. Take one at a time and make it flat. Pour a spoonful of the mixture with the cream cheese. Make a little ball/ bag and make sure to close them as much as possible.
In a saucepan, melt one stick of butter and 1 cup of brown sugar until it makes a gooey sauce.
Put pecans in the bottom of the mold (this is optional)
Arrange your biscuits around, they are going to overlap.
Pour the brown sugar/ butter on top of the biscuits.
Put in the oven for 30 minutes (mine took more time -about 35 minutes)
Ari and I goofing around while waiting for the monkey bread to come out.
Once out of the oven, wait five minutes before flipping into a plate...
And voila... here is your monkey bread goodness. Now, I need to consider something more healthy... maybe a salad? But for now, this should do :)
