Notes: To prepare the night before, follow all the steps except the baking part. Cover and refrigerate. Bake as directed in the morning (may need a few extra minutes if it is cold). Use the kids! Although the heating and melting of the butter should be handled by the adults, let the little ones cut the dough with kitchen scissors and dip each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture! Cooking time may very depending on oven and pan used. Continue cooking until tops are starting to crisp and turn golden brown. To be entirely sur that the monkey bread is fully cooked and not doughy in the center, use a thermometer to verify that the middle has reached 190º. If the top is getting overly cooked and the center is still not at 190º, lower the monkey bread in your oven or cover with foil to prevent browning.
"We always have a big breakfast with my brother cooking personalized omelets, my sisters awesome breakfast casserole and my Christmas morning monkey bread. The monkey bread can be enhanced with many different things…. You can add walnuts, pecans, raisins, craisins (cranberry raisins) or apples. My personal favorite is icing……. LOL you can pour it over the top once you take it out of the Bundt pan or use as a dipping side." -Sarah Petty
