Breakfast Orange Monkey Bread Recipes

ORANGE MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan.
• Toss the sugar and orange zest together in a small bowl. Whisk the orange juice and melted butter together in a separate small bowl.
• Roll the biscuit dough pieces into balls. Dip each ball into the orange juice mixture and then roll in the sugar mixture. Arrange the coated balls evenly in the prepared pan. Pour the remaining orange juice mixture over the biscuits.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning out onto a serving platter. Serve warm.

OVERNIGHT ORANGE GLAZED MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Mix yeast, warm water and 1 tbsp sugar together in a bowl; let stand for 5 minutes until bubbly. Add milk, butter, 1/2 flour, salt, and remaining sugar; mix with an electric mixer until combined and no longer lumpy. Add rest of flour and knead in by hand for 5 to 6 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.(Alternatively, use the soft dough cycle on your bread maker.).
• Spray a fluted ring pan with cooking spray. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Deflate the dough, pinch off a tablespoon, roll between palms (it helps to lightly oil hands as dough is very sticky), dip ball into melted butter, then roll in brown sugar mixture. Place evenly around the ring pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest overnight in refrigerator.
• In the morning, remove the pan. Place in preheated oven (350 F). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before turning onto serving plate. Stir together the confectioner's sugar, milk, and orange extract; pour evenly over bread. Garnish with candied citrus peel (Recipezaar #5319), if desired.

ORANGE-VANILLA MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Fill a large ziptop bag with the granulated sugar, salt and orange zest. Seal the bag and shake it around until the zest and sugar are totally combined. Cut the chilled biscuits into quarters. Add the biscuit pieces to the bag, seal it and shake/toss it around until all the biscuit pieces are coated in the orange sugar. Pour the pieces into a bundt or tube pan and set aside.
• In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla and orange juice until just barely combined. Pour the mixture all over the biscuit pieces, scraping the pan to get all the butter/brown sugar out. Let it settle for a second, then place the pan in the oven.
• Bake until the top of the biscuits are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let it sit for at least 10 minutes (but no more than 15), then turn the cake out of the pan onto a cake plate. Let cool briefly before serving.
