Gorilla Bread

This is a relatively new popular Cajun dish. It closely relates to Monkey Bread (recipe on site), a popular dessert bread.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick - 8 tablespoon)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

Step 3

Step 6

Sprinkle one of the 1/2 cup of the nuts into the bottom of the bundt pan. Place half of the prepared biscuits in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, pour half of the melted butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle on another 1/2 cup of nuts.

Step 7

Layer the remaining biscuits on top, sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar, pour the remaining butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of nuts.
