Time 14h15m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 to 1/4 cups warm 2-percent milk (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed, plus more for greasing
1 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
6 tablespoons chopped pecans

Steps:

  • For the dough: Dissolve the yeast in the water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add 3 cups of the flour, the milk, butter, sugar, salt and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a firm dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • For the caramel: Generously butter a 10-inch bundt pan. Bring the brown sugar, butter and cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Pour half into the greased bundt pan and sprinkle with the pecans.
  • For assembly: Punch the risen dough down and shape into 40 balls (1 to 1 1/4 inches in diameter). Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  • Pour the melted butter into another bowl. Roll the balls in the butter and then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 20 balls in the bundt pan and top with remaining caramel and the pecans. Lastly, place the final 20 balls of dough into the pan. Cover the bundt pan and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake until the top is a deep golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.

Time 55m

Yield 12 Pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury® Grands!® Homestyle Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits
¼ cup honey
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 12-cup fluted Bundt® cake pan with cooking spray.
  • 2. Place ½ cup brown sugar in a large resealable plastic bag. Cut each biscuit round into quarters and toss in the sugar until evenly coated.
  • 3. In a small bowl, whisk the honey, butter, vanilla, and remaining ¼ cup brown sugar until smooth. Place half of the biscuit pieces in the prepared pan and top with half of the pecans and honey mixture. Repeat layering once.
  • 4. Bake until golden brown and the dough is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully invert onto serving plate or wire rack. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have biscuit dough, you can use store-bought cinnamon roll dough or even refrigerated pizza dough in a pinch.
  • To save time, you can use pre-chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Be sure to grease the pan well to prevent the monkey bread from sticking.
  • Bake the monkey bread until it is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
  • Let the monkey bread cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the glaze to set.

Conclusion:
