Orange Monkey Bread is a twist on the classic pull-apart bread, where the dough balls are coated in a delicious orange sugar mixture and then baked to perfection. The result is a sweet, sticky, and flavorful treat that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange zest (from about 2 oranges)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
- Prepare the Orange Sugar: In a medium bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and orange zest.
- Cut and Coat the Biscuits: Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Then, cut each biscuit into quarters. Roll each quarter in the orange sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Layer the Biscuit Pieces: Begin placing the sugar-coated biscuit quarters into the greased bundt pan.
- Prepare the Orange Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and orange juice. Keep stirring until the brown sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Pour the Sauce: Evenly pour the butter and orange mixture over the biscuit pieces in the bundt pan.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through. You can check the doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center – if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, it’s done.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the monkey bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, invert it onto a serving plate. Serve warm, pulling apart the sticky, delicious segments.
Tips:
- You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a glaze made of powdered sugar, orange juice, and a touch of vanilla extract. Drizzle this over the top once the monkey bread has cooled slightly.
