👩🍳Recipe Notes
- To ensure even cooking, make sure to cut the biscuits into similar-sized pieces. This will result in a more consistent texture throughout the monkey bread.
- To prevent sticking, make sure to generously grease the pan with non-stick cooking spray before adding the biscuit pieces.
- After arranging the biscuit pieces in the pan, give them some time to rise before baking. The refrigerated biscuits won't rise like my recipe for Garlic Parmesan Monkey Bread, but they will warm up nicely before baking.
- Monkey bread is ready when it turns golden brown on the top and the biscuits are fully cooked.
