What Is Monkey Bread?

Monkey bread is a type of sweet, sticky pastry made with pieces of dough rolled in cinnamon-sugar and baked in a bundt pan. The finished product is usually served warm, either as a breakfast treat or dessert. It can be topped with icing or served with a side of cream cheese or whipped cream.

Can You Use Canned Crescent Rolls In This Monkey Bread Recipe?

You could. You just need to be certain that it’s a dough recipe that is remade and it should work out just fine. Depending on what you choose, your monkey bread might be a bit fluffy or flaky as well.

How To Make Instant Pot Monkey Bread

Carefully, remove the trivet with a towel or hot pads from the Instant Pot. Transfer the Bundt pan to a cooling rack. Once cooled, place a plate on top, and flip to transfer the Monkey bread.
