Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whey protein isolate (vanilla flavor)
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the water and almond milk until warm but not hot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter until melted, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients while stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan with cooking spray.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a bowl. In another bowl, mix together the 0.75 cup of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Punch down the risen dough and form it into 1-inch balls. Dip each ball into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Layer the dough balls evenly in the greased bundt pan, sprinkling the chopped pecans between the layers.
Cover the bundt pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 20-30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
Serve warm and enjoy your high protein delicious monkey bread!
