 Dee Hood (Texas) says:
I have a question. Can the first part of this recipe be made like the night before then add the sauce the next morning right before baking...I'm trying to figure out why it could not be done that way but need some input if anyone has done this...
Thanks,
dh

Dee - my recipe calls for frozen unbaked bread buns cut into 4 - and it sits on the counter overnight to thaw and rise, pop it in the oven in the morning and you have fresh monkey bread for breakkie!!!

I might tweak it a bit for more of an individual style cooking method. But only because i never had it this way but looks good.

 Kelli (Missouri) says:
I added an extra cup of sugar and tbsp of cinnamon. I don't let the butter-brown sugar mixture cool before pouring in the pan. It settles straight to the bottom then when you pull it out of the oven and turn it upside down, it covers the rest of the bread. This is my kids favorite special breakfast. I also LOVE this recipe. My favorite breakfast EVER.

 Kimberly (Missouri) says:
This is a wickedly good recipe! It's my favorite special occasion breakfast treat when I have plenty of time. But I don't think you should try preparing it the night before, even though it's a lot of work prepping 160 biscuit pieces. The refrigerated biscuit dough will start to rise right away, and at the least I'm fairly sure it will throw off the consistency. Frozen bread dough, on the other hand, needs the time to thaw and rise. But I'm wondering, how do you quarter frozen dinner roll dough without using a hacksaw?
