BACON CHEDDAR MONKEY BREAD



Bacon Cheddar Monkey Bread image

This Bacon Cheddar Monkey Bread is a scratch-made savory pull-apart bread that's extra cheesy and loaded with bacon bliss.

Provided by Maegan - The BakerMama

Categories     Breakfast

Time 2h40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons butter, melted & slightly cooled
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon sugar
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast (2-1/4 teaspoons)
1/4 cup warm water
2-1/2 cups bread flour (or all-purpose flour)
1 teaspoon salt
12 slices bacon
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, melt the butter. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Add the yeast and sugar to a small bowl. Gently pour the warm water over it. Let proof until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Once butter is slightly cooled, whisk in the milk, egg and yeast mixture. Add the flour and salt and stir until well combined. Using well-floured hands, form dough into a moist ball. Place in a buttered bowl and cover in plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
  • While the dough is rising, fry the bacon until extra crisp, reserving 1/4 cup of the bacon fat. Let bacon cool on a paper towel and then crumble into bits.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 or 10-inch tube pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese and a few tablespoons of bacon onto the bottom of the tube pan.
  • Gently punch down on the risen dough to release the air bubbles. Take half of the dough and form it into 1-inch size balls, dipping each one into the reserved bacon fat before placing into the bottom of the tube pan. There should be an even layer of dough balls in the bottom of the tube pan with about a thumbs space between each one. Sprinkle dough balls with 1-1/4 cups cheese and half of the remaining bacon bits. Form remaining dough into 1-inch size balls, dip in remaining bacon fat and place on top of the first layer in the tube pan. Sprinkle dough balls evenly with remaining cheese and bacon bits.
  • Place tube pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted and crisp on top.
  • Let cool for just 5 minutes before running a knife around the edges of the bread and inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve warm or cooled.

BACON MAC AND CHEESE MONKEY BREAD



Bacon Mac and Cheese Monkey Bread image

We combined 2 of our favorite comfort foods--monkey bread and mac and cheese--for the perfect blend of sweet and savory.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
Two 16-ounce tubes refrigerated biscuit dough
3 1/2 cups shredded mild Cheddar
1 packet powdered cheese mix from your favorite boxed mac and cheese
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the butter in a medium bowl. Brush the Bundt pan with some of the butter to lightly coat.
  • Cut the biscuits into quarters. Combine the Cheddar and powdered cheese mix in a large bowl and stir together.
  • Working in batches, toss one-third of the biscuits in the melted butter, roll them in the cheese mixture to lightly coat and add them to the Bundt pan so they are nestled together in an even layer; sprinkle with one-third of the bacon. Repeat to make 2 more layers of biscuits rolled in cheese and the bacon. Sprinkle the top with any leftover cheese mixture and drizzle with any leftover butter.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until puffed and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Loosen the bread from the sides of the pan with a knife or offset spatula. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate, remove the pan and serve hot.

Tips:

  • For a crispy monkey bread, bake it for a few extra minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  • To make sure the monkey bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a ball. If it comes out clean, the monkey bread is done.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to grease the pan well so the monkey bread doesn't stick.
  • You can use any type of cheese you like in this recipe. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all popular choices.
  • If you're short on time, you can use refrigerated biscuit dough or canned biscuit dough. Just be sure to let the dough come to room temperature before using it.
  • Monkey bread is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. Just store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
