Easy Monkey Bread Recipe
Ingredients for making this monkey bread recipe
- 30 pieces of frozen roll dough
- 1/2 cup + 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
How to make easy monkey bread
In a medium sized bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and the cinnamon.
Bring your frozen roll dough to room temp or microwave for a minute or two until it’s no longer frozen.
Cut the rolls into 4 pieces each. Toss each piece in the cinnamon and sugar mixture and then place in a jumbo muffin tin. Put 12 pieces of dough into each muffin cup.
Make the caramel sauce by combining the remaining brown sugar, the half and half, and the stick of butter over a medium heat on the stovetop. Bring to a low boil and boil for about 2 minutes before removing from heat.
Pour the caramel sauce over each of the muffin tins, dividing evenly among all 10 serving sizes.
Bake the Monkey Bread at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops are slightly brown.
Pop out of the muffin tins using a spoon and flip over like you are serving an upside down cake. Pour any extra caramel from the inside of the tins over the monkey bread.

Jerry says
What size are these rolls of dough? Who makes them?
Keri Lyn says
Hi Jerry! We use frozen Rhodes rolls – the come in balls in the freezer section, but any kind should work. I just tear them off into even smaller rolls. You will find them in the freezer isle at walmart, usually by the frozen garlic breads and such.
Helen Reynolds says
This looks so good! I love that you made your own caramel sauce!
Trisha says
Very tasty and yummy.
Janet says
I used the store brand rolls and OMG so so good!
Tammy says
I never have half and half. Could I use whole milk instead?
MW says
Could these be assembled and frozen to bake later?
