Buttered Rum Monkey Bread

Buttered Rum Monkey Bread! Quite possible the best Christmas breaskfast item!!!

Monkey Bread was not something I grew up with.  The first time I heard of it I really didn’t think I would like something called monkey bread.  Why such a weird name?  Well whatever the name it is amazing!  It’s like a sticky bun, but in perfect little segments.  This Buttered Rum Monkey Bread is the perfect Christmas treat!  Serve it as dessert or for a Christmas breakfast!  My little secret for making this easily is by using Rhodes™ White Dinner Rolls instead of making my own dough.

The basic recipe for Monkey Bread usually calls for dipping the dough in butter and then coating it with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon.  This version uses a little rum extract to give it an extra special touch and then a butter rum glaze to drizzle on top!  My family LOVED this!

Ingredients

  • 24 Rhodes™ White Dinner Rolls
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp . cinnamon
  • 1 tsp . rum extract, 2 tsp. for a more distinct taste
  • optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • For glaze
  • 1 tsp . butter flavor
  • 1 tsp . rum extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp . milk

Instructions

  1. Set the Rhodes rolls out to thaw until soft (around 1 hour). Once they have thawed split each roll in half. I use kitchen shears to split them in half easily. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl and in a separate bowl mix rum extract with the butter. Dip each roll into the butter and then roll the roll in the brown sugar mixture. Place each roll into a bundt pan that's been greased or sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap that's been coated with cooking spray and let the rolls rise in the bundt pan until they double in size (2-3 hours). Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. (cover with foil the last 15 minutes). Immediately after removing from the oven, carefully release edges and center tube with a knife. Invert onto a serving plate.
  2. For the glaze:
  3. Combine everything in a medium sized bowl. You may need more milk to make it a pourable consistency. Drizzle glaze on the Monkey Bread and enjoy!
