Monkey Bread
Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 01 Round 11
The 2018 Steemit Ironchef challenge is here! This year @progressivechef broke up the contest into 3 separate 'Acts' consisting of 15 rounds. Unlike most rounds of the challenge, there is no special ingredient for Act 1 Round 11 of the 2018 @steemit-ironchef challenge. Instead, I must make a favorite childhood dish. When I was a little kid I used to call myself 'Chef Jeff' (I still do sometimes...). Monkey Bread was a simple dish I would make for gatherings. It works as a breakfast cake, a dessert cake or even just a delicious snack. I have not made Monkey Bread in many years so I decided it would be a great entry for this Childhood Favorite contest.
Ingredients
2 - 16 oz Packages of Biscuit Dough
1 cup of Sugar
1/2 cup of Packed Brown Sugar
1 Stick of Butter
A Load of Ground Cinnamon
Handful of Chopped Walnuts
Step 1: Make a Bag of Cinnamon-Sugar
Pour 1 cup of sugar into a large bag. Add ground cinnamon. I used a couple heaping tablespoons and proceeded to add more.... I love cinnamon.
Step 2: Cut the Biscuits
Pop open the Biscuits and cut them into quarters.
Step 3: Throw 'Em In The Bag
Throw the Biscuit nuggets into the bag of cinnamon-sugar. Toss it around to make sure they are well coated.
Step 4: Place in Bundt Pan
Arrange the cinna-nuggets in a greased Bundt pan.
Step 5: Add Walnuts
Apply chopped walnuts to the crevices as you build the cake out of nuggets.
Step 6: Melt Butter & Brown Sugar
In a small saucepan, melt a stick of butter and add 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Heat until bubbling.
Step 7: Pour It On!
Pour the molten sugar-butter over the cinna-nuggets in the Bundt pan.
Step 8: Bake It
Bake it on 350°F for roughly 40 minutes.
Step 9: Let it Cool & Turn it Over
Let it cool in the Bundt pan for at least 10 minutes. Turn it over and pop it out.
Step 10: Enjoy!
You do not need to cut Monkey Bread. Just pick off the nugget pieces until it's gone... And trust me, it will go!
