My Mom used to make Monkey Bread and I loved it but couldn't find the recipe of hers. This is by far the BEST monkey bread I've had since Moms. Actually I think I like this one better.. but of course I would never tell MOM!

This is such an easy recipe. I was so happy to find a recipe that didn't use refrigerated biscuit dough. I used my bread machine on the dough setting which is such a time-saver! I used butter instead of margarine & the sauce was so sticky, so gooey, just so yummy. To save from making too much of a mess I used a soup spoon to move the balls of dough around in the brown sugar sauce & to scoop them into the bundt cake pan. My fingers never touched the sauce! Next time I will experiment with different fruit and nut flavors! It's apple season, so I'll be making an apple monkey bread w/ apple cider and extra cinnamon!

Really good but I agree with some of the other posters about rolling the "balls" in the butter then sugar. I didn't do that but it probably would have added a little something. I have also thought about sprinkling a butterscotch pudding mix over the balls before letting it rise. That was done on another recipe and I am curious to see how that would taste. I added a cinnabon frosting that made it very nice but I think that next time I am going to add a caramel glaze over the bread.

Fun to make and tasted great, but mine was still pretty doughy in the middle and the edges were over done, I would recommend to turn the oven down a little and to cook the full recommended time.

This monkey bread was eaten up quickly by my family. They wanted me to make it every weekend! I followed the recipe as it is and all went well, but I would suggest using less than 1 cup of margarine in the brown sugar mixture. Maybe even 1/2 cup. The margarine seemed to float on top of the brown sugar mixture and I had to keep mixing it so that the ball I put in would get covered by the brown sugar too. Besides that, it turned out great and I was pleased with it.

My mom could not find her recipe, so I found this one and I am so happy! I had no easy dough on hand, but have a bread maker and prefer to make things "from scratch". Just like moms! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This was very good, family also enjoyed. The only change for us I would make next time is to cut down on the sauce, it was a little too sweet for us. Really does tasste like the inside of a cinnamon bun.

Was yummy but I took the advice of other reviewers putting it on a cookie sheet so the drippings didn't go everywhere.... Well when I went to move it to a plate for serving it fell apart. This was devastating! Next time I'll flip it onto a plate and take my chances with drippings rather then bits everywhere.

OMG! This was sooo good. I never had Monkey Bread before, still not sure why it's called that, but I made it yesterday for one of my big baking days. It's gone today. I didn't add raisins or nuts (my family didn't want them) and I only used one stick of butter in the "dip" (one stick equals half a cup) and that was plenty. And I used real butter, not fake margarine, but other than that, I followed the recipe. It hits that spot when I want something soft and gooey. Will DEFINITELY be making this again!

Decent basic recipe. I used my metal bench scraper to cut the dough quickly into little pieces. To streamline the coating process, I poured the slightly cooled butter mixture in a plastic bag and tossed the dough pieces in to coat, then took them all out at placed them into the pan at the same time. I had way too much butter mixture, so I made a second batch of dough and had plenty of butter mixture for the second loaf, which will go into the freezer. Even so, I still had at least 1/2 cup of the butter mixture left. I'm not big on wasting expensive ingredients like butter, so I will make less next time, or maybe find another recipe. (I added nutmeg and vanilla to the first bread, and instant chai mix to the second.)

Amazing recipe, only one I found with an actual yeast dough, all the other monkey bread recipes use biscuit dough which is unappealing to me! Really fun to make and eat!

This recipe turned out awesome. I used whole wheat flour because that is all that I had. I would use it again it gave it a heartier texture. i served it to my inlaws when they came over and they said that it tased just like the one they had in a fancy bakery in Vancouver over the weekend. Thanks for the recipe it is a keeper.

I agree with Auntiet who said to coat each piece with butter then roll in brown sugar (no nuts because we have a nut allergy in our house)and then pour butter and sugar on top. I will try this next time, as each did not have enough coating. Good recipe overall.
