Notes
Does the bread dough have to be perfect balls? No but you do need to make sure they're about the same size so they bake evenly.Can I make money bread without a bundt pan?YES! If you don't have a bundt pan to make this pull-apart bread, you can use a 9x13 baking dish instead and will have a baking time of 30 minutes instead.How to Store Leftover:Store any leftovers in an airtight container or securely wrapped with aluminum foil for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.How do you reheat monkey bread?It reheats really well in the microwave or, like with pizza, it reheats well in the air fryer so it gives that crispy outside texture and soft center like the original!Additional Topping Ideas:
