Satisfy that sweet craving. This ooey, gooey, sweet cinnamon pull apart bread is the perfect thing to enjoy for breakfast, brunch, dessert or with a cup of coffee, tea or a cold glass of milk!

The perfect amount. No need to worry about lots of leftovers, this recipe for easy monkey bread is the perfect amount for one person. Of course you can double or triple it if you need to feed a few more people.

Quick and easy. Thanks to using store bought biscuits and the air fryer you can have this treat ready in under 15 minutes!

Ingredients for Single Serve Monkey Bread

Butter, salted

Sugar. You’ll need granulated sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar if you are adding a glaze.

Ground Cinnamon

Biscuit. I use Pillsbury Grands Flaky, Original refrigerated biscuits. You only need one biscuit for this recipe. You can freeze the remaining biscuits and just take one out of the freezer next time a monkey bread craving hits.

Milk (if making glaze) but you also use water. Use 2 %, skim milk or whatever you have on hand.

How to Make Single Serve Monkey Bread

• Cut one biscuit into eight pieces. Cut in half, cut each half in half and then again cut each of the four pieces in half. Roll each piece of biscuit dough into a ball.

• In a bowl combine 1 Tbsp granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Stir to combine.
• Add in biscuit pieces and toss to coat with sugar mixture.
• Spray a 6 oz. ramekin with non stick cooking spray.

• Add in dough balls. You can sprinkle in any remaining cinnamon sugar mixture if you like, or leave it out.
• In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp of melted butter and 1 tsp of brown sugar.
• Pour mixture over biscuit pieces.

• Place ramekin in air fryer on the air fryer setting at 330 degrees F for 7 minutes. To bake in the oven, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 20 minutes or until dough is cooked through.

• Remove from the air fryer ad cool for a few minutes.
• While cooling mix up the glaze if you are adding. Combine 2-3 Tbsp of powdered sugar with just enough milk or water to make a nice drizzling consistency. Start with just a small amount and add more as needed.

Notes

1. I like to line my air fryer with a paper liner in case anything bubbles over or spills. Makes clean up much easier.
2. When I freeze the leftover biscuits, I lay them out on a cookie sheet and flash freeze them until frozen solid. Then I put them into a zippered freezer bag and I can remove them one at a time as needed.
3. If you don’t want to use store bought biscuits you could make your own biscuits. Use this recipe for small batch biscuits.

Amazing Lemon Flavor! The best part of this lemon pull-apart bread is how it tastes.  It is full of lovely lemon flavor.  

So Easy to Make! The second best part is how easy the recipe is because it uses frozen roll dough!  I actually found this recipe over at the Rhodes website and it was love at first site and first taste!  

Great Texture: The sugar creates a nice crunchy, lemony texture on top and the inside of the roll is soft and sweet.

No Yeast Involved! Because these rolls are made with store bought, frozen roll dough there is no instant yeast or dry ingredients involved!

Ingredients Needed

• Frozen Dinner Rolls. I use Rhodes frozen rolls but you can use other brands. Each roll weighs about 1.3 oz. See below if you prefer to make your own roll dough.
• Lemons
• Granulated Sugar
• Butter, salted
• Powdered Sugar

How to Make Lemon Pull Apart Rolls

• Remove frozen rolls from freezer, place on a baking sheet or plate and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to thaw at room temperature. You want them to be thawed but still cold.  Depending on the temperature of your house, this will take around 1 1/2 hours.  I used 12 rolls for my 10 inch cast iron skillet pan.

• Mix up lemon sugar mixture by combining sugar and lemon zest.  Stir together with a fork or spoon, you can even use your fingers to rub the lemon zest into the sugar so it gets infused into the sugar.
• Cut the rolls in half with a pair of scissors and lay them into the pan.  Pour melted butter over the top.

• Sprinkle half of the lemon sugar mixture over the top.   Cover them with plastic wrap.

• Set the rolls in a nice warm place and let them rise for an hour or until they double in size.
• Sprinkle the other half of the sugar mixture on top after they have risen.

• Bake at 350 degree F until they are nice and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
• Combine powdered sugar, melted butter and lemon juice until you have a nice drizzling consistency.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and cool for five minutes, then glaze.

In trying to replicate family favorite foods for my daughter who is eating gluten free, I have found breads to be the biggest challenge. I tried many recipes before finding this one. The gluten free biscuits we were able to make with this recipe are flaky and flavorful.

Ingredients Needed

• Gluten Free Flour, I like Bob’s Red Mill Cup for Cup Gluten Free Flour. You can also use my Gluten Free Flour Mix.
• Milk, I used almond milk but you can use regular milk or buttermilk.
• Granulated Sugar
• Baking Powder, be sure your baking powder is nice and fresh for best results.
• Salt
• Butter, or your favorite butter substitute.

How to Make Gluten Free Biscuits

• Mix together gluten free flour mix, sugar, baking powder and salt.

• Add in butter and mix together until crumbly and pea sized.

• Add in eggs and milk. Mix until a cohesive dough forms(will be slightly sticky)

• Sprinkle counter with additional gluten free flour to make rolling easier.
• Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick.

• Fold dough into thirds lengthwise.

• Fold dough into thirds crosswise and then roll out again into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Repeat folding process and roll out again.

• Cut out biscuits and placed on a greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

• Put biscuits into freezer for 20 minutes to allow butter to solidify and create flaky biscuits

• Bake in 400 degrees F oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Brush with melted butter after baking.

2. If you don’t have a biscuit cutter you can use the rim of a glass to cut biscuits.
3. Putting the biscuits in the freezer allows the butter to solidify and help create flaky biscuits. Do not skip this step.

• Water
• Active Dry Yeast
• Granulated sugar

Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

Quick and Easy. Several years ago I shared with you a recipe for 30 Minute Rolls and it has become one of the most popular recipes here on the blog.  I have heard back from so many of you who have tried them and loved them.  For some of you it was your first time making yeast rolls and it is the perfect recipe to start with.

Dressed up Version. For today’s recipe I decided to take that same recipe and dress it up a bit and add in some cheese and fresh herbs. These herb rolls are perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter or just a weeknight meal.

The rolls have great texture and flavor.

Ingredients Needed

• Herbs, I used some fresh rosemary from my garden but you could really use any herb or herb blend you like.  Just chop it up nice and fine. If you don’t have access to fresh herbs, dry herbs can also be used. Use half the amount of herbs if using dried herbs. You could also use oregano, parsley, thyme, or basil.
• Cheese, I used a combination of four different cheeses.  Cheddar and a three cheese blend of Parmesan, Asiago and Romano.  You could use any cheese you like or combination! 
• All Purpose Flour
• Oil, vegetable or canola oil. You want a mild flavored oil.
• Active Dry Yeast
• Granulated Sugar
• Egg
• Salt
• Butter, salted

How To Make Cheese Rolls

• Stir the water, oil, yeast and sugar in a stand mixer and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Using your dough hook, mix in the salt, egg and flour and dried herbs.
• Knead with dough hook attachment until will incorporated and dough is soft and smooth. (just a few minutes)
• Form dough into 12 balls on a lightly floured surface and then place in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan and allow to rest uncovered at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.

• Brush dough with 2 Tbsp melted butter. This helps the cheese stick better!

• Sprinkle tops of rolls with cheese mixture. I sprinkled about a tablespoon or two of cheese on each roll. Can you have too much cheese!?!?

• Bake in a 400 degrees F oven for about ten minutes or until they are nice and golden brown.
