Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
  2. 1 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  4. ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  5. 1 cup lemon curd
  6. 1 cup powdered sugar
  7. 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 12-cup bundt pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the monkey bread.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and fresh lemon zest. Mix thoroughly to release the citrus oils and infuse the sugar with bright lemon flavor.
  3. Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
  4. Roll each biscuit quarter in the lemon-infused sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is completely coated. This will create a sweet, zesty exterior for each piece.
  5. Begin layering the sugar-coated biscuit pieces in the prepared bundt pan, creating an even, slightly loose arrangement to allow for proper rising and baking.
  6. Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it evenly over the layered biscuit pieces. The butter will help create a rich, golden crust and enhance the overall moisture of the monkey bread.
  7. Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuit pieces are fully cooked through.
  8. While the monkey bread is baking, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
  9. Once baked, remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. This resting period helps the bread set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.
  10. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the monkey bread. If any pieces stick, gently separate them with a spatula.
  11. Warm the lemon curd slightly to make it more spreadable. Drizzle the lemon curd over the warm monkey bread, allowing it to seep between the layers.
  12. Finish by pouring the prepared lemon glaze over the top of the monkey bread, ensuring an even coverage that will create a beautiful, glossy finish.
  13. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet, tangy, and buttery flavors in this Lemon Supreme Monkey Bread.

Tips

  1. Room Temperature Matters: Allow your refrigerated biscuit dough to sit out for 10-15 minutes before cutting. This makes them easier to handle and helps achieve a more uniform texture.
  2. Zest Like a Pro: Use a microplane or fine grater to get the most aromatic lemon zest without the bitter white pith. Fresh zest is key to intense citrus flavor!
  3. Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Leave some space between biscuit pieces to ensure even baking and proper rising. A loose arrangement helps create that signature pull-apart texture.
  4. Check for Doneness: If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning while ensuring the inside cooks thoroughly.
  5. Serve Warm: This monkey bread is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the glaze is still warm and gooey. The flavors and textures are most vibrant within the first hour of baking.
