½ c. sugar
½ c. brown sugar

Place in a greased casserole dish or bundt pan. Dump any remaining butter or sugar mixture over the top. Let it rise for 15 minutes or so. Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes. Dump it onto a plate and enjoy.

Holly's Note:
This is the same recipe for Good White Bread. I know that most Monkey Bread recipes call for refrigerator biscuits and they're good too. We prefer using homemade bread. I don't often have refrigerator biscuits on hand anyway!

You can also do these the night before. Just pop the pan in the fridge overnight for a slow, second rise. In the morning, pull it out, let it sit at room temp for about 1/2 an hour and bake.
