🔪How To Make Instant Pot Monkey Bread
- Step 1: Melt your butter in a medium bowl. Remove from the microwave once melted. Add in your parsley, garlic, salt, and parmesan cheese to the melted butter. Cut your biscuits into fourths. Then add your biscuits to the bowl in intervals, allowing each biscuit to receive enough of the coating. Divide the bowl into two. Set the second portion aside.
- Step 2: Spray your Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter. Add in your biscuit piece, layered in the prepared Bundt pan. Add 2 cups of water to your Instant Pot. Add the trivet and place your pan on the trivet. Pressure cook on high pressure for 45 minutes, followed by a quick release. Remove the bread and cool. Repeat the process to cook your second batch of Instant Pot monkey bread. Serve and enjoy.

In the recipe, it says to divide the remaining butter mixture in to two bowls. It then states to set the second bowl aside. I do not see where the recipes provides any other direction for the butter mixture. Am I missing something? This sounds delicious, just need clarification please.
the second lot is for the second loaf as this recipe makes enough for two bundts of Monkey bread.

No where do you list the size of IP you are using. I think you would make this in the larger IP.
This is made in the 6 quart but if you make it in a larger pot the instructions are the same.
