How to Make Another Yummy Monkey Bread

  1. Grease a bundt pan with cooking spray and arrange 1/2 cup chopped pecans on the bottom.
  2. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar over the pecans.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  4. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Cut 1 loaf (1 pound) of your favorite bread into halves, then cut each half into 8 slices.
  6. Roll each bread slice into a ball. Dip each ball in the melted butter mixture to coat.
  7. Toss the butter-coated bread balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated. Arrange them on top of the pecans in the prepared bundt pan.
  8. Repeat until all bread slices are used.
  9. Let the monkey bread rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until almost doubled in size.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
  12. Carefully invert the monkey bread onto a serving platter.
  13. Serve warm and enjoy!
  14. **Make-Ahead Tip:** Prepare the monkey bread up to the baking stage the night before. Cover with wax paper and refrigerate overnight. Let it come to room temperature before baking, adding about 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
