STICKY PECAN MONKEY BREAD

For this recipe we'll use our Favorite Dough from the fridge that has been patiently waiting for it's delicious destination, to become this Sticky Pecan Monkey bread, all the "dough boys" wish they could become be this OOEY GOOEY STICKY GOODNESS!

To get started, grab the dough out of the fridge. I'll be honest, I like to make this recipe when I'm down to the last portion of the dough. It seems easier to scoop the dough out of the container. That way I don't worry about popping all the gas bubbles, in the other portions. If you want to make this before you've come to the end of the batch (I don't blame you one bit, haha). Just pull out about 1 lb. of the dough and put it in a bowl, don't worry about "working" it into a "loaf", since we are scooping balls out. 

Pre-heat your oven to 375°f. Line the bottom of a glass 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper. No need to spray or grease it, the parchment paper works so good!

Sticky gooey nuttiness...

Sticky Pecan mixture:
In a bowl combine

1 cup chopped Pecan

1/2 cup of maple syrup and 1/4 cup of coconut sugar or brown sugar, or your sugar of choice. (I use maple syrup to keep this oil free and the flavor is amazing with pecans)

1 teaspoon cinnamon 

Mix well add to the baking dish.

Cinnamon Sugar coating:
In another bowl, or in the rinsed and dried bowl you already used...

Mix 1/4 cup of coconut sugar (or your preferred sugar)

2 teaspoons of cinnamon (more or less to taste)

Using a mini ice cream scoop or a Tablespoon, scoop out a few balls of dough and add to the cinnamon sugar toss to coat. 

Before baking, single layer of sugary dough balls

Add the coated dough balls in a single layer to cover the pecans, they should be touching and they will rise a little as you continue to fill the baking dish. Bake on a parchment lined sheet tray incase of overflow. 
Bake at 375°f For 25-30 mins or until the center ball is cooked through. Let cool of 5-10 mins until inverting onto a large dish or cutting board.
Enjoy! 

After baking and inverting SOOO BEAUTIFUL! 

Your family will thank you!
