Gluten Free Monkey Bread Made With Pizza Dough
Monkey bread is a sweet and delicious treat that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Traditionally, monkey bread is made with wheat flour, which means it's not suitable for people with gluten allergies or sensitivities. However, this gluten-free monkey bread recipe is made with pizza dough, which is a great alternative for those who can't eat wheat flour.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound gluten-free pizza dough
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch bundt pan with cooking spray.
2. Cut the pizza dough into small pieces, about the size of a ping-pong ball.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
4. Dip each piece of dough into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until it's fully coated.
5. Place the coated dough balls into the greased bundt pan, arranging them in an even layer.
6. In a small saucepan, melt the remaining butter and brown sugar together over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth.
7. Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture over the dough balls in the bundt pan, making sure it's evenly distributed.
8. Bake the monkey bread for 35-40 minutes, or until it's golden brown and cooked through.
9. Remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
10. Carefully invert the monkey bread onto a serving platter and let it cool for an additional 5-10 minutes before serving.
Variations:
If you want to switch things up, you can try adding different flavors to your monkey bread. Here are a few ideas:
- Chocolate: Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the dough before rolling it into balls.
- Nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the butter and brown sugar mixture before baking.
- Fruit: Mix in 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, raisins, or chopped apples to the dough before rolling it into balls.
