Perfect for a special breakfast treat or a holiday recipe, this Rhodes Rolls Monkey Bread Recipe is so easy made with frozen bread dough. Tender bread, butter, cinnamon and sugar! That’s the way I want to start my day!
During the week, we usually keep our breakfasts pretty simple and easy. The school bus comes for our kids at 6:50am, which is incredibly early. Many mornings, we just have time to wolf down a quick bowl of cereal. Sometimes my husbands gets downstairs early enough to make some eggs and sausage or bacon! But, man…. my kids eat it soooo slow!
But on the weekends, we like to have a little more fun with our breakfasts. My husband and my daughter usually go downstairs ahead of everyone else on Saturday mornings to make some pancakes. But, sometimes, it is fun to treat everyone to a special breakfast recipe. So, I’m always looking for a cool casserole, cinnamon roll or waffle recipe to brighten up everyone’s morning. So, when I discovered this Rhodes Rolls Monkey Bread Recipe, I was pretty pumped!
Easiest Rhodes Rolls (frozen Dinner Rolls W/ Butter And Herbs)
Monkey Bread is also sometimes called pull-apart cinnamon rolls or cinnamon roll bites. It consists of biscuit dough baked in a pan (usually a bundt pan) with butter, sugar and cinnamon. The result is a great breakfast treat that is easy to share. Just pull off what you want and enjoy! These make great recipes to bring to office parties, pitch-ins or potlucks.
Often, you will see this recipe made with refrigerated biscuits but you can also use frozen bread dough as well. For instance, using Rhodes frozen rolls works great, you can just break off the ones that you need and thaw them out overnight!
Using a regular sized Bundt pan will take about 20-24 rolls. Be sure not to overstuff the pan or you will have a gooey and sticky mess with the bread rises! There are two methods for thawing out the frozen dough, you can put the whole bag in the fridge overnight and then separate them once they have thawed a bit. But the better way is probably to separate the balls as frozen dough in the package and place them on a cookie sheet (not touching) in the refrigerator overnight. Then they will be ready to go in the morning. If you can time it so they are still just a little bit frozen, then it makes them easier to cut too!
Apple Fritter Monkey Bread
If you are using a dark pan, I’d suggest reducing the oven temp to 325. For shiny or glass pans, keep it at 350.
Jazz up this recipe by sprinkling some nuts in the bottom of the pan before you put the bread in. This way, the finished product will be lined with the nuts. We don’t do this because our son is allergic to tree nuts. You could also drizzle some icing over the top of your Monkey Bread to give it a little extra sweetness! My daughter LOVES icing!
I hope you enjoy this delicious sweet breakfast recipe. Now that I know that Monkey Bread made with frozen dough is possible, I’ll be sure to have some Rhodes dinner rolls stashed in my freezer at all times! Let me know what you think of the recipe in the comments!

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.
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.
Overnight Butterscotch Monkey Bread — Let's Dish Recipes
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.
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.) 😉
Easy Instant Pot Monkey Bread
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*
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. 🙂
Stick with a good quality Nordic Ware Bundt pan like this one to get an even bake and make it easy to remove.
Upside Down Sticky Buns
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.
Easy Rhodes Monkey Bread (w/ Butterscotch Pudding)
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.
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.
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.
Pull Apart Sticky Buns
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.
