Ingredients

2: cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated Crescent Dough Sheet

Expert Tips

A pizza cutter works great to cut the dough into pieces super-fast!

Monkey bread is best served freshly baked; however, it can be reheated the next day in a 200°F oven or in the microwave.
