Monkey Bread

This tastes great.

INGREDIENTS:

2 loaves frozen bread dough
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups sugar
3/4 cups cinnamon
1/2 cup soft butter

PREPARATION:

  • Set out frozen bread dough and let rise to baking stage. (approx. 4 hours)
  • Line the bottom and sides of a Dutch oven with aluminum foil. Then rub inside of foil with butter. Mix sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Cut bread dough into one inch squares, rub all sides of dough with butter, then roll in the sugar mixture, and layer in the Dutch oven. Sprinkle any leftover sugar mixture on the top layer. Place the lid on the Dutch oven and set outside in direct sun for about one hour. The dough should rise to 1 1/2 inches from the top of the Dutch oven.
    • About 1/2 hour before you are ready to cook the bread you need to light the charcoal so it is ready to use when the bread is finished rising. Using the furnished grills at the campground works the best. Lower the rack on the grill to its lowest position above the charcoal. When the bread is ready, set the Dutch oven on top of the grill rack. Using 10-12 charcoal briquettes on the lid of the Dutch oven and 16-18 under the grill rack. Spread the briquettes evenly on the lid and under the Dutch oven. Cooking time is 25-30 minutes. You may check the bread anytime while cooking. When finished, you can lift it out by holding the top pieces of the foil and pulling gently (this sometimes takes two people).
