How to Make Delicious and Tasty Monkey Bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon.

Take dough and separate them. Take each disk, and cut it in half or quarters. Roll the cut dough into balls.

Gently add a few balls into the sugar mixture, gently rolling in mixture to coat thoroughly. Tap off excess sugar.

To a lightly greased (use cooking spray) flute baking pan add in a layer of coated sugar balls.

Add a quarter cup of cranberry sauce, spreading it around. Add in ⅛ cup of raisins, spreading it around too.

Continue with another layer.

With the remaining sugar mixture, add butter. Mix together. Pour sauce over the dough.

Bake 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce Directions

In a large pan, bring water, orange juice and sugar to a boil.

Add in cranberries and cinnamon, continue to boil for 5-7 minutes. Stirring occasionally.

Once cranberries have all opened, remove from heat and chill covered for three hours. (Sauce will thicken.)

Pour over Monkey Bread and serve on a platter.

Enjoy!
