Instructions
Making Citrus Monkey Bread can be a delightful experience if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease a bundt pan generously with non-stick spray or butter.
3. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and zests from the orange and lemon.
4. Cut Biscuit Dough: Open the cans of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters.
5. Coat Biscuit Pieces: Toss the cut biscuit pieces in the sugar-cinnamon mixture until fully coated.
6. Layer in Pan: Place half of the coated biscuit pieces into the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.
7. Add Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with the fresh orange juice and lemon juice. Pour half of this mixture over the biscuit pieces in the pan.
8. Add Remaining Biscuit Pieces: Layer the remaining biscuit pieces on top, followed by the rest of the butter mixture.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
11. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
12. Drizzle Glaze: Once the bread is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top for added sweetness.
