    Use frozen roll dough or your own recipe

    If using frozen roll dough, partially thaw the frozen dough so you can cut it. Next, cut each roll into four pieces. Don't worry if your pieces aren't the same size. It adds to the fun of this "Monkey" type bread.

    What kind of pan should I use?

    An angel food pan or Bundt pan works best for this recipe and creates a nice presentation. If you don't have one, you can make it in a 9-inch x 13-inch pan. If you like nuts, chopped pecans are a delicious addition to the bread. Just toss in a few here and there as you add the roll pieces to your pan.

    Can I make these the night before?

    The answer is yes! Go ahead and pour a brown sugar-butter syrup over the rolls before baking. If you want to bake the next morning, stop here. Then cover the dough filled pan with plastic wrap and put the pan in the refrigerator. The next morning, set the pan out at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then bake as directed. Cinnamon pull-apart are a great Thanksgiving or Christmas morning breakfast idea. 

    Everyone will love this ooey-gooey treat. Serve it for breakfast, brunch, or serve it ANYTIME! You'll be a rock-star!

    Enjoy!

    Ingredients

    • Use homemade roll dough to make 24 rolls or 20 balls of roll dough (such as Rhodes); thawed
    • ½ cup chopped pecans optional

    For Coating

    • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

    For Sauce

    • ¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks)
    • ⅔ cup brown sugar packed
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray Bundt pan or angel food cake pan with cooking spray to coat.

    For Coating

    • Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Cut rolls into 4 pieces each.
    • Dip each dough piece into cinnamon and sugar and place in baking pan. Sprinkle a few nuts in between layers as you go.

    For Sauce

    • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar on stove over stirring constantly. Cook for 2 minutes once butter has melted; add vanilla and stir to combine.
    • Pour butter-brown sugar mixture over rolls in pan. Place Bundt or angel food pan on cookie sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes.
    • Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto a plate or platter. You may need to coax the rolls a bit by loosening the edges and giving a few taps. Serve warm.

    Notes

    If you want to bake in the morning, just cover the pan in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. In the morning, set the pan out at room temperature for 30 minutes, then follow baking directions.
