Everyone likes monkey bread but not kneading the dough and waiting for it to rise. This morning, I had a bag of frozen rolls in my freezer, so I made this.

  • Place dough balls in a greased (non-stick cooking spray-sprayed) ramekin after dipping in cinnamon sugar. Keep going until the dough is gone. Pour melted butter and crushed cinnamon sugar over top. Air fried for 7–10 minutes at 330 degrees F.

Pro Advice

  • For optimal texture and flavour, use fresh chilled biscuits. Due to its lower increase, expired biscuits should be avoided.
  • In order to have consistent flavour in every mouthful, coat each biscuit piece evenly with melted butter and brown sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  • Avoid Sticking: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent monkey bread from sticking.
  • Check Doneness: Avoid overbrowning monkey bread by checking it near the end of cooking. With no uncooked dough in the center, it should be golden brown and baked.
  • Adjust Cooking Time: Air fryers vary in temperature, so adjust cooking time to your model. Start with the suggested time and assess doneness.
  • Rest: Let monkey bread cool for a few minutes before serving. This blends flavors and prevents sugar burns.
  • Customize Your Glaze: Try different glazes and toppings on monkey bread. Add flavour and texture with a powdered sugar coating, caramel sauce, or chopped nuts.
  • Monkey bread tastes best warm from the air fryer. Serve immediately for maximum pleasure!
