Bacon Monkey Bread Recipes

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.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels; crumble and remove extra fat.
• Melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and maple syrup. Bring mixture to a boil; cook and stir until mixture begins to foam, about 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat.
• Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag; add 6 to 8 biscuit pieces at a time and shake until well coated. Pour any remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture into brown sugar mixture. Place saucepan over medium heat and cook and stir until sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle 1/4 the bacon pieces in the bottom of the tube pan; pour in about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture. Arrange 1 layer of biscuit pieces in the tube pan; sprinkle in 1/4 the bacon pieces. Drizzle about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces. Continue layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a drizzle of brown sugar mixture.

BACON AND CHOCOLATE MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 11-inch oval baking dish with cooking spray.
• Open the biscuits. Cut the biscuits in half horizontally for a total of 16 slices.
• Place one slice in a large bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush the top of the biscuit with maple syrup. Top with 1 teaspoon each of chocolate chips and bacon pieces. Top with another biscuit slice perpendicularly, and press lightly to make them stick. Repeat the process, building a tall stack of biscuit dough, until you're out of biscuit halves. (You won't use all the maple syrup; save 1 tablespoon for the drizzle.)
• Carefully transfer the stack to the prepared baking dish, laying the stack horizontally in the center, and pour any remaining syrup and chocolate over the top. Bake until golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool 10 minutes, then whisk together the melted butter and reserved maple syrup in a medium bowl. Whisk in the powdered sugar until thick, then add the milk and maple extract and whisk until smooth. Drizzle carefully over the bread and let set, about 10 minutes more.
