The taste of this is reminiscent of orange sweet rolls from a tube, but with way more depth, due to the orange caramel. Great for a special breakfast/brunch.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

BREAD BASE
4 can(s) 7.5 oz cans of buttermilk biscuits(not flaky variety)
1 stick butter, unsalted
2 large oranges, rinsed-zested and juiced.
2 c sugar, granulated
ORANGE CARAMEL SAUCE
3/4 c use remaining orange sugar, adding more fresh sugar to measure 1/2c
3 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1/ tsp salt
3 Tbsp corn syrup, light
1/4 c orange juice
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Brush a bundt or angel food pan well with butter.
  • 2. Measure sugar into a small mixing bowl. Zest both oranges into the sugar, and mix with a fork thoroughly. Pour prepared sugar into a gallon zip bag. Squeeze juice to measure 1/4 c and set aside.
  • 3. Melt butter in the same bowl you mixed the sugar in. Trying to keep the biscuits cold, open tubes and cut each biscuit in 1/4's.
  • 4. COAT BISCUIT PIECES: Roll biscuit pieces in melted butter(you may have to rewarm the butter to keep it liquid). Drop each buttered piece in the zip bag with orange sugar. Toss to coat well. Remove biscuit pieces from sugar and drop into prepared pan, trying to keep the level fairly even.
  • 5. MAKE CARAMEL: Using the remaining orange sugar, add fresh sugar to it to measure 3/4c. Place sugar in a heavy sauce pot over medium high heat and melt the sugar WITHOUT STIRRING. Pick up the pan and swirl it around as it becomes liquid. When it reaches a LIGHT golden color, quickly add the orange juice and swirl to stop the browning. Then add the corn syrup, salt and butter. Continue to cook (should be simmering)for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over the biscuit pieces and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • 6. Remove pan from oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Then carefully place large plate over the top and invert onto the plate. Allow the Monkey Bread to cool for at least 10 minutes, before eating!

Time 55m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup granulated sugar
Dash kosher salt
Zest of 2 oranges plus juice of 1 orange
Three 7.5-ounce cans buttermilk biscuits (not the flaky kind), chilled thoroughly
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Fill a large ziptop bag with the granulated sugar, salt and orange zest. Seal the bag and shake it around until the zest and sugar are totally combined. Cut the chilled biscuits into quarters. Add the biscuit pieces to the bag, seal it and shake/toss it around until all the biscuit pieces are coated in the orange sugar. Pour the pieces into a bundt or tube pan and set aside.
  • In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla and orange juice until just barely combined. Pour the mixture all over the biscuit pieces, scraping the pan to get all the butter/brown sugar out. Let it settle for a second, then place the pan in the oven.
