Monkey Bread Recipe No Butterscotch

Light and fluffy rolls covered in an irresistible caramel that is created as it cooks in a bundt pan. Overnight Butterscotch Monkey Bread is the perfect holiday morning breakfast or a delicious treat for any occasion. The comfort food level is comparable to your favorite cinnamon roll recipe, but the prep time is literally less than 5 minutes. 

The amazing flavor of the caramel sauce comes from a surprise ingredient–Butterscotch Cook and Serve Pudding. The pudding is sprinkled over the rolls along with brown sugar and melted butter. As the rolls bake, it creates a delicious sauce with a nice salted caramel flavor. That sticky sauce combined with the soft warm texture of the baked rolls is a match made in heaven. This monkey bread is best eaten warm. It is such a treat! Before you know it, you will have licked the plate clean. 🙂

Butterscotch

Using Rhodes Rolls or any frozen roll dough makes this recipe come together in minutes. If you can’t find frozen rolls at your grocery store or if you just want to make your dough from scratch, my Easy French Bread recipe is an absolutely perfect dough to use. You would need to make 22 (slightly bigger than a golf ball) rolls out of the dough. You may have a little leftover. Don’t use that in the Monkey Bread or it might overflow your pan. You could make a mini loaf of French bread, a few regular rolls out of it, or my kids like to put small pieces of dough in the microwave for 20 seconds and then eat it with butter. It’s actually pretty good. 🙂

NOTE: If you make homemade dough you will not need to let them sit overnight. They will only need about 1.5-2 hours to rise before being baked.

This usually takes about 7-8 hours. Right when you wake up, you bake them in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes, and viola! Everyone will be raving about the delicious breakfast!

Monkey bread is traditionally baked in a bundt tin so that it forms a doughnut shape and it’s easy to pull apart. If you are in a pinch, you can use a large, high-sided loaf tin.

I made this Rhodes Rolls Monkey Bread for our Sunday school class. Because I was putting it together on a Sunday morning (easily the CRAZIEST day in our home) I didn’t have any plans to blog the recipe.

Monkey Bread With Rhodes Dough

But as I was on my way to choir practice before church, I sent my husband a message asking him to snap a photo just in case.

I’m glad he did, because this turned out so well and several people asked for the recipe. But since it was just a cell phone picture and it’s now several years old, I decided to give this post little love with some updated pictures. 🙂

The thing that sets this recipe apart from all other Monkey Bread recipes is that it’s made with frozen yeast rolls, rather than refrigerated biscuit dough. There’s also NO butterscotch pudding required-just a buttery brown sugar mixture that caramelizes while baking. YUM.

Butterscotch Coffee Cake Or Monkey Bread

I’ve tried other brands, but I get the best results with Rhodes dinner rolls from the freezer section. (And no, this isn’t a sponsored post.) 😉

The result is tender bites of bread, covered in cinnamon and sugar, rather than dry biscuits. I honestly don’t like Monkey Bread made any other way. Unless you are going to go with homemade dough like this Garlic Butter Pizza Monkey Bread. *chef’s kiss*

Overnight

I got the idea from Elle’s Studio and even made it in a baking pan like hers the first time I tried this recipe, but I believe it cooks much more quickly and evenly in a Bundt cake pan. Besides, it looks prettier this way. 🙂

Best Butterscotch Pull Apart Or Monkey Bread — A Mother's Shadow

Stick with a good quality Nordic Ware Bundt pan like this one to get an even bake and make it easy to remove.

Most bags of Rhodes rolls (found in the freezer section) will come with 36 rolls in a bag. This recipe calls for just 24 rolls, though. The fuller the pan, the more likely you will get a sticky mess spilling over the sides, so stick with 24 if you’re making Rhodes Rolls Monkey Bread in a Bundt pan.

Start by cutting the rolls in fourths and then rolling them in a sugar and cinnamon mixture. This works best when the rolls are mostly thawed, but still partially frozen. It makes it easier to cut them up while still holding their shape.

Then toss the pieces of dough into a well greased pan and pour the butter and brown sugar mixture all over the dough. After that, all you have to do is bake and you’ve got a gorgeous pan of monkey bread that tastes so much better than the kind made with biscuit dough.

This monkey bread is a “special occasion” breakfast and always gets popular around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who loves to bake for the holidays! If you want to really take it up a notch, try making Cream Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread.

Ingredient

Yes! Prepare the recipe as directed, but then cover and refrigerate overnight. If you leave them out on the counter, the dough will rise way too much. In the morning when you’re ready to bake, pull it out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then bake as directed.

How To Make Monkey Bread

Nope. Well, at least not all the way. I pull mine out and let them sit at room temperature for a little while so they start to get soft around the outside. But having them still partially frozen helps make it easier to cut them into fourths. By the time you have finished cutting them up and rolling them in the cinnamon and sugar, they should be thawed out.

You can, but I don’t. 🙂 If you leave them in the refrigerator overnight, they will rise a bit even in the cold. This yields a slightly softer, fluffier bread after baking. If you go straight from prepping to baking, they will cook just fine. You’ll end up with nicely defined chunks of bread that are perfect for a “tear and share” loaf.
