The Best Monkey Bread. Ever.

And believe me, I've tried them all. Ok...maybe not ALL...but you get the idea. The other day I set a loaf of frozen bread dough out to thaw. For some reason, I put it on a plate instead of in the pan. Forward several hours and I realize we won't be having fresh from frozen bread. Flynn was quick to suggest a remedy for the situation. She reminded me that she has a recipe for Monkey Bread in The Disney Princess Cookbook she has. (Side note: This cookbook is amazing! ) We made it. And it was delicious. It makes a smaller amount of yumminess, which is probably a good thing for me!  Oh, and if you are wondering who Abu is...the answer is down below. : )

Abu's Monkey Bread

Ingredients:
  1. 1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
  2. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  3. 1/2 cup white sugar
  4. 1 tsp. cinnamon
  5. 6 Tbsp. butter, melted
Directions:
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a bundt or fluted tube pan.
  2. Mix the brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  3. Roll pieces of dough into melted butter, then roll into sugar mixture.
  4. Place them in prepared pan.
  5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
  6. Cool 10 minutes, loosen sides, and invert onto serving plate.
  7. Cool slightly, and enjoy!


Want a closer look?
Sure you do...

One glass of cold milk mandatory. 

Note: I did adapt this recipe to include frozen bread dough.
The original recipe called for homemade dough.

Enjoy!

P.S. Abu is the silly monkey friend of Aladdin. : )

  11. Oh Billie Jo, I want Abu's monkey bread! It surely looks divine! I remember cooking with my daughter from children's cookbooks. Some of them have wonderful recipes and especially Disney ones. Have a lovely afternoon. ♥

  13. Oh, yum! I love that it's named after Abu & that it's from a Disney Princess Cookbook! Sometimes children's cookbooks really do have the best recipes. When I was little we had the original American Girl Cookbook (back when there were only three dolls, Molly, Samantha, and Kirsten) and there are several recipes from that book that I STILL make to this day!
    Have a great day & thanks for sharing!
