Preparation

Note from Ricardo

If refrigerated, let the dough sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.

If frozen, defrost the monkey bread for 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. To reheat, place the bread on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 300°F (150°C) for 15 to 20 minutes.
