In a large ziplock bag, combine the sugar and cinnamon, ensuring they are thoroughly mixed.

Break off walnut-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.

Place the dough balls into the ziplock bag containing the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Shake the bag well to coat the dough balls evenly.

Once baked, remove the monkey bread from the oven and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
