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!
