If you don’t have a bundt pan on hand and want to make monkey bread there are a few viable substitutes. A regular cake or loaf pan will work in a pinch though the results will be a bit flatter and less impressive-looking than if you had used a bundt pan. A tube pan is another option and will give you monkey bread that is more round and lofty. Whatever pan you use be sure to grease it well so the monkey bread doesn’t stick.
Here’s a recipe for monkey bread made in a regular cake pan:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 package active dry yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter melted and cooled
Instructions:
1. Heat milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it is just warm. Pour into a large bowl and add sugar and yeast. Stir until the yeast has dissolved.
2. Add 2 cups of flour and the salt to the bowl and stir until well combined. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is smooth.
3. Gradually add the remaining flour stirring until the dough is too stiff to stir. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size about 1 hour.
5. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll out to a 1/2-inch thickness.
6. Cut the dough into 2-inch pieces and place in a greased cake pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
8. Bake the monkey bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.
