This delicious breakfast treat is a classic with a sweet sauce that melts down the bread as you flip it upside down. Just try not to pick at it before you serve it!

Ingredients
- 2 loaves of bread dough unrisen
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 big box vanilla pudding not instant
Instructions
- If you are using frozen bread dough, let it thaw but not rise. If you are making your own dough, chill it just a little to make it easier to work with before you start.2 loaves of bread dough
- Make the sauce before you start with the rest of it. Over medium low heat, add the butter, sugar, cinnamon, pudding mix, and milk to a pan. Stir until melted and incorporated, then remove from the heat and set aside.1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 big box vanilla pudding, 2 tablespoons milk
- Break half the dough into walnut size pieces, rolling them slightly, then popping them into a greased bundt pan. Pour the entire sauce over the dough balls.
- Continue making walnut size dough balls with the remaining dough and place them into the bundt pan atop the sauced dough balls.
- Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled. If you're using previously frozen dough, this may take about two hours. If you are using fresh dough, it will be closer to one hour.
- Remove the towel, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let the monkey bread cool for ten minutes. You want it to firm up and finish baking just a touch, but you don't want the sauce to cool before you remove it.
- Place a large plate upsidedown atop the bundt pain and quickly flip it over. Lift the bundt pan to remove the monkey bread. Serve immediately. This will keep for a couple days if you can't eat it all in one sitting.
Notes
- You can use the equivalent of two loaves of homemade bread dough or purchased. My mom has always used Rhodes' frozen white bread dough, and it turns out perfectly. Just defrost first - don't let it rise.
