Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (16 oz/454 g) refrigerated biscuit dough or homemade dough
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tbsps milk or heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pan Preparation: Meticulously coat the bundt pan with butter, ensuring complete coverage to prevent adhesion. Slice biscuit dough into precise quarters, creating uniform bite-sized pieces.
- Sugar and Spice Mixture: Whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a shallow bowl. In a separate container, blend melted butter, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to form a luxurious liquid base.
- Coating Process: Immerse each dough segment into the butter-pumpkin mixture, allowing excess to drain. Thoroughly coat the moistened pieces in the spiced sugar blend, ensuring complete coverage.
- Assembly and Layering: Construct an intricate pattern by strategically positioning sugar-coated dough pieces inside the bundt pan. Distribute any remaining butter mixture evenly across the arranged layers.
- Baking and Transformation: Place the bundt pan in a preheated oven, allowing the monkey bread to bake until achieving a deep golden-brown exterior and fully cooked interior, approximately 35-40 minutes.
- Cooling and Glazing: After removing from the oven, let the monkey bread rest for five minutes to set. Carefully invert onto a serving plate. Prepare a silky glaze by combining powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Final Touch: Generously drizzle the glossy glaze over the warm monkey bread, ensuring complete and even coverage for a decadent finish.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking Carefully: Generously butter the bundt pan’s entire surface, using a pastry brush to reach every crevice and corner for seamless bread removal.
- Uniform Dough Cutting: Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to slice biscuit dough into precise, equal-sized quarters, ensuring consistent baking and texture throughout the monkey bread.
- Moisture Control Technique: Shake off excess butter-pumpkin mixture before rolling dough pieces in sugar to avoid soggy or overly wet bread, maintaining a light and crispy exterior.
- Glaze Application Pro: Let monkey bread cool for 5-10 minutes before drizzling glaze, allowing the surface to set slightly and preventing the glaze from immediately absorbing into the warm bread.
