BREAKFAST BUNDT BREAD (AKA MONKEY BREAD AKA PULL-APART BREAD)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F (350°F if using a glass bundt pan).
• Grease bundt pan with softened tablespoon of butter (you may need more depending on the size of your bundt pan, DO NOT SUBSTITUTE - the butter mixes with the sugar mixture on the outside of the bread, making it gooey).
• Roll biscuit half into a ball and let stand at room temperature.
• In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and both 1/2 cups of pecans.
• Roll each biscuit ball in butter and then in sugar mixture (I usually do a handful of biscuit balls at a time).
• Layer balls in bundt pan; if you have extra butter and sugar mixture, mix together and pour over bread.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and up-end onto serving plate.
• Place icing by spoonfuls on top of hot bread; allow to melt and cover the sides and center of bread; icing will pool in dish, use for dipping.
