Monkey Bread Dutch Oven Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 rolls of Pillsbury (or cheap generic) biscuit dough
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark is fine)
- 6 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1 stick butter
Instructions
- Cut or tear biscuits into quarters
- Mix sugars and cinnamon in plastic bag (I like to use a gallon sized ziploc bagand to do this part prior to leaving on my camping trip).
- Drop each biscuit quarter into the bag and shake tocoat well. (this will be your most time consuming part – do NOT just throw them all into the bag.
- Do them 1 or 2 at a time or they will stick together and not get properly coated)
- Place in dutch oven. Pour remaining sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces.
- Melt butter and pour over biscuits. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. (5 coals on bottom, 13 on top)
- Serves 15-40 (160 bite-size pieces total) depending on your hunger level. My Troop stampedes to the oven toget some of these when I make them
- Strong Recommendation: Use a Lodge brand dutch oven liner (essentially parchment paper shaped into a circle to fit nicely into a dutch oven) unless you want to work hard to clean the oven.
- The sugars melt with the butter and it can be quite a job to clean without using the liner.
