Has Anyone Made Monkey Bread

I want to try making gluten-free Monkey Bread, wondering if anyone out there has successfully has modified a recipe to gluten-free.

I found a few recipes using canned buscuits, I would like to use Pamela's Amazing Bread Mix however.

Would it work if I just made the bread dough up and pinched it off into sections and then layered them in the baking pan with the nuts and the cinnamon/sugar mixture and glaze?

Any suggestions?

I bet that would work, Julie... I was thinking about Monkey Bread last night cuz we usually have it on Christmas morning! I don't think my bread recipe will work because it's too thin to make balls. But, if yours is a thicker consistency, it will probably work. I'm just going to add cinnamon and sugar and make it in a loaf.

Thanks Cheri!

I actually was able to finally find a recipe for Monkey Bread that uses a yeast dough rather than the biscuits so I am going to give it a go using the Pamelas Amazing Wheat Free Bread Mix. Here is the recipe to modify if anyone is interested:

Monkey Bread

1 loaf rhodes frozen bread dough (I am going to use Pamela's gluten-free bread mix)

5-6 tablespoons butter or margarine

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Icing (optional)

2 cups powdered sugar

1 tablespoon melted butter

3-4 tablespoons water or milk (to desired drizzling consistency)

Thaw frozen bread

Break dough into small balls (golf ball size).

Melt butter in medium size bowl.

Mix sugar and cinnamon in separate bowl.

Roll the balls into the butter bowl, then the cinnamon-sugar bowl and place in pan (loaf, cake, bundt, etc.).

Pour remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture onto balls; mix.

Let rise until doubled (about 30 minutes in a warm place).

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes.

Let cool for approximately 2 minutes, then flip over onto plate.

If desired, drizzle icing over top while hot.

Also, this one for bread machine users, can be modified to use with a gluten-free mix:

We have this every year for Christmas too. MIL's recipe uses Rhode's frozen dough so I thought I would buy kinnikinnick and try that instead.

Julie, do you think this recipe might work? I got this recipe from another forum and I've made the crescent rolls a couple of times. They are really good.

_______________________

MrsP's Yeast Rolls (gluten free)

1 packet yeast

1/8 cup warm water

3/4 cups lukewarm milk (scald then cool)

1/8 cup sugar

3/4 tsp salt

1 egg

3 Tbs shortening

1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour mix (up to 1 cup extra reserved IF needed) [below]

1 1/2 tsps xanthan gum

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour with xanthan gum, set aside. Dissolve yeast in warm water with sugar . In a 2 1/2-quart bowl add milk, salt, eggs, shortening and flour with xanthan gum mixed. Beat on low speed scraping bowl constantly (30 seconds). Beat on medium speed scraping bowl occasionally (2 minutes). Turn dough onto well (use out of the reserved flour) floured surface. Roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2 inch thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter. Cover and let rise until doubled (40-50 minutes). Bake in a preheated oven 450 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.

*MrsP's Mock Brown & Serve Rolls: You can roll into balls and make divided rolls in a muffin tin. Brush tops with melted butter before baking.

**MrsP's Crescent Rolls: Roll out into 2 circles and cut into wedge pieces. Roll up like crescent rolls and bake after rising time. Make sure to have a well floured surface to roll these out on or they will stick and be messy. Brush the dough with melted butter before rolling and after rising. Roll loosely and they will have seperate layers like the canned rolls.

***MrsP's Sweet Breakfast Crescents: brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnimon and sugar before rolling into shape. Brush tops with melted butter. (you could put a few pecans and raisins in )

Gluten Free Baking Mix

Sweet Rice Flour (2 parts) 6 cups

Potato Starch (2/3 part) 2 cups

Tapioca Flour (1/3 part) 1 cup

I made my normal bread recipe and put in the 1 tsp. cinnamon and 3/4c. brown sugar. Carleigh is loving it. I made it in the loaf form cuz it's not dough-y and thick enough to make the balls.

I have not tried Monkey Bread, but would like to say that the posted recipe for Mrs. P's Yeast Rolls makes the best basic bread dough I have made in three years of being gluten-free and trying numerous bread recipes, and it is so flexible. Using it, I have baked crescent rolls, sandwich rolls, and a loaf of really great bread that makes the best toast! Thanks!

"Sweet Rice Flour (2 parts) 6 cups "

I found this recipe elsewhere and it called for rice flour, not sweet rice flour. Are you sure it's sweet rice flour? With the potato starch and tapioca flour, adding sweet rice flour it's basically all starch.

Juliem - did you make these? These are a Christmas tradition for us as well. Had recently wondered what I was going to do. I always used the frozen Rhodes dough. I've never used the Pamela's amazing bread mix. Is it "solid" enough to shape into balls?

Hi Janet!

Yes, I made this several times last year around Christmas and New Years with success.

Pamela's Bread Mix worked great for me, I also succesfully made cinnamon rolls with it.

The dough is a little sticky and tricky to work with but I kept some plain rice flour near to flour my hands and sprinkle on the dough so it would cooperate, and lightly oiling my hands helped when I was pinching off the dough and rolling into balls.

Thanks for sharing this recipie. I printed it off a long time ago and just tried it tonight. My printer cut off the part with the flour blend using sweet rice flour and I didn't realize it so I used Carol Fenster's sorghum blend and used an light hand and not the whole amount of "remaining" flour. I probably could have used more. The brown and serve rolls came out so tender and pulled apart in thirds just like they are supposed to. I made it CF with soymilk and part Earthbalance part shortening. I only wish I had made a double batch because they will disappear so quickly! I have to control myself from eating half of them tonight!

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
