Notes

  • Depending on how long you let it rise, the dough can rise too much and overflow the pan. If it seems like the dough is rising too high too quickly, just put the bundt pan in the fridge. That will help to stop the rising process until it's time to bake.
  • Warm up individual pieces of Monkey Bread in the microwave for about 15 seconds or until warm. Or reheat the whole thing in the oven, tightly covered in foil for about 20 minutes at 170 degrees.
