Shana Chaplin: Italian Monkey Bread

I have always enjoyed a good morning Monkey Bread.  Soon after getting married, a friend of mine was over helping me get ready for a Christmas party.  She asked why you couldn’t make a Monkey Bread with savory ingredients.  We laughed it off at first, but then as we grew tired of baking and cooking, we decided we had nothing to lose by creating a recipe and giving it a try.  I don’t really recommend trying new recipes or experimenting before a party, but I have to say, I have had some pretty good luck with doing just that.  This recipe is a perfect example!  I have even been known to throw in a little browned Italian sausage for a heartier version.  I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as my friend and I have.

Shana Chaplin: Italian Monkey Bread

Ingredients

  • 12-16 Frozen Dinner Yeast Rolls (I use Kroger brand)
  • 1 stick of melted butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Basil
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
  • 2 Teaspoons Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan Chees

Instructions

  1. Grease a Bundt pan.
  2. Place the frozen dinner yeast rolls in a gallon size storage bag.
  3. Pour ¼ a cup of the melted butter over the frozen rolls.
  4. Add the garlic powder and herbs, along with the shredded Parmesan.
  5. Seal the storage bag and shake vigorously.
  6. Dump the herb covered frozen rolls into the greased Bundt pan. Make sure you distribute them evenly over the bottom of the pan.
  7. Pour the remaining ¾ cup of melted butter over the top of the rolls.
  8. Place the Bundt pan on a baking sheet. Let sit overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  9. Once the rolls have risen, bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes.
  10. You may have to cover the top of the Bundt pan to keep the top layer of rolls from browning too much.
  11. Once baked, remove from the oven.
  12. Gently loosen the top edge of rolls from the edge of the Bundt pan.
  13. Let cool for 10 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter.

Notes

This dish is best served fresh from the oven, but will keep for up to two days. A great side for any pasta dish.
