CHEESY BACON MONKEY BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Crisp bacon over medium heat. Allow it to cool, then crumble.
• Generously grease a large bundt pan with cooking spray.
• In a bowl, mix both kinds of cheese.
• Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Flatten each piece in the palm of your hand and add a pinch of the mixed cheeses and crumbled bacon. Gather the edges and pinch the biscuit into a ball.
• In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic.
• Drop the biscuit pieces in the butter mixture and place in the bundt pan.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden-brown. (Be careful - the butter may begin to smoke toward the end of the bake time. If it begins to smoke, remove from the oven.)
• Let stand for five minutes, then place a heatproof plate on top of the pan. Using a pot holder, flip the pan and plate over and invert onto your serving plate. Be careful as the pan will still be hot.
• Sprinkle with parsley.
• Enjoy!

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches, with cooking spray.

BACON CHEDDAR MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, melt the butter. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Add the yeast and sugar to a small bowl. Gently pour the warm water over it. Let proof until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Once butter is slightly cooled, whisk in the milk, egg and yeast mixture. Add the flour and salt and stir until well combined. Using well-floured hands, form dough into a moist ball. Place in a buttered bowl and cover in plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
• While the dough is rising, fry the bacon until extra crisp, reserving 1/4 cup of the bacon fat. Let bacon cool on a paper towel and then crumble into bits.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 or 10-inch tube pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese and a few tablespoons of bacon onto the bottom of the tube pan.
• Gently punch down on the risen dough to release the air bubbles. Take half of the dough and form it into 1-inch size balls, dipping each one into the reserved bacon fat before placing into the bottom of the tube pan. There should be an even layer of dough balls in the bottom of the tube pan with about a thumbs space between each one. Sprinkle dough balls with 1-1/4 cups cheese and half of the remaining bacon bits. Form remaining dough into 1-inch size balls, dip in remaining bacon fat and place on top of the first layer in the tube pan. Sprinkle dough balls evenly with remaining cheese and bacon bits.
• Place tube pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted and crisp on top.
• Let cool for just 5 minutes before running a knife around the edges of the bread and inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve warm or cooled.

BACON MAC AND CHEESE MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the butter in a medium bowl. Brush the Bundt pan with some of the butter to lightly coat.
• Cut the biscuits into quarters. Combine the Cheddar and powdered cheese mix in a large bowl and stir together.
• Working in batches, toss one-third of the biscuits in the melted butter, roll them in the cheese mixture to lightly coat and add them to the Bundt pan so they are nestled together in an even layer; sprinkle with one-third of the bacon. Repeat to make 2 more layers of biscuits rolled in cheese and the bacon. Sprinkle the top with any leftover cheese mixture and drizzle with any leftover butter.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until puffed and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Loosen the bread from the sides of the pan with a knife or offset spatula. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate, remove the pan and serve hot.
