  1. I was looking for something to serve DD's friends after her slumber party and I chose your recipe. I had some frozen rolls in the freezer and these worked perfectly. I did cut them in half before coating with the butter and rolling in cinnamon sugar mixture. I did not glaze the bread and the girls loved it anyway. Thankyou for sharing withg us.
     
  2. They are in the oven as I type and I know how good they are going to be without even trying them. I like to make them in small serving sizes for the kids to take to school, so I used frozen bun dough rather than a whole laof and cut each bun into 4 then baked them in muffin tins for 20 minutes. The smell is heavenly. A lady I work with makes them using the buns and just puts the buns into the bundt pan and makes them 12 at a time. I made a double batch and did find I needed more butter and sugar than called for but that is in part to my desire for them to be sticky buns. Will definately be making these more often.
     
  3. Bug, thank you for your recipe!
     
  4. Very tasty...great recipe. I did make my own white bread in my bread machine. Needed to double up on the butter and the cinnamon/sugar mix. Will be making again as I had company over and they devoured it
     
  5. Instead of the frozen bread dough, we use our own homemade bread dough (bread machine, 90 min. for dough) and instead of butter (lactose issues) use 1 Tbsp. coconut spread and 1 Tbsp. shortening. Same in the icing. Have subbed honey for half the powdered sugar too, and it turned out splendid. This is a very forgiving recipe! I'm thinking of adding raisins sometime, too. Maybe nuts. We've made this a handful of times and love it every time. Another tip: if you do have "leftovers," warm them in the microwave just a few seconds before finishing them off. Monkey bread tastes way, way better warm! Thanks, bug, for this recipe. Brings back memories of youth group days, and my family now loves loves loves it too!

  2. I chose this of all the monkey bread recipes on 'zaar because it was made with bread dough instead of biscuits. It's the first way I had monkey bread and am still partial to it this way. Using the frozen bread dough is a nice time saver and it's cheaper than the tubes of biscuits too. I just popped a couple of loaves in the refrigerator the night before and was able to whip it together in no time.
