How long does bubble bread last?
If you do have leftovers, the bread will keep well two to three days. Place it in an air tight container and keep t at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
Can you freeze it?
Baked monkey bread can be frozen. Let it cool to room temperature and wrap it in foil and place in a freezer bag. Keep the bread in the bundt pan. It will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight and warm it through it the oven to serve.
Does it have to be baked in a bundt pan?
Monkey bread is traditional baked in a bundt tin so that it forms a doughnut shape and it’s easy to pull apart. If you are in a pinch, you can use a large, high sided loaf tin.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- This recipe will take at least 5 hours to thaw the dough (or 8-10 hours overnight)
- If using a 9-inch Bundt pan, reduce the number of rolls to 19 and keep the remaining ingredients the same.
- The bread is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F-205°F or an inserted toothpick comes out clean. It will be puffy and crisp on the top.

So it’s a debate every Christmas- cook and serve vs instant pudding mix….. I’m always buying the wrong one. Does it matter?
Cook n’ Serve :)
I used to make monkeybread with these ingredients years ago, but sprinkled butterscotch pudding powder over rolls in bundt pan. Melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together with a touch of vanilla, then poured over rolls. Let rise overnight and bake in am. Thinking of making it for Christmas morning .
Yummy!!
I’d prefer a recipe with homemade dough. I like to make things from scratch and it would take no longer than buying the dough and then waiting for it to thaw. Please put up another monkey bread recipe with fresh dough used.

Hi, Becky
Can I use a spring-form cake pan instead of a bundt pan?
Thank you,
Sue
Yes, absolutely! Whatever you have on hand will work!
