Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for coating and layering)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Heat the milk until warm (about 110°F). Stir in the melted butter and add this liquid mixture to the dry ingredients.
Crack in the eggs and mix until a sticky dough forms. Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, kneading until a smooth and soft dough forms (approximately 6-8 minutes).
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 1 hour at room temperature or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into small, even pieces (about 1-inch size balls). Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Melt the additional 8 tablespoons of butter in a separate bowl.
Spray a bundt pan liberally with cooking spray. Dip each dough ball into the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and layer them in the prepared pan.
Once all the dough balls are layered, cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator overnight to rise slowly.
In the morning, preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the bundt pan from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Bake the monkey bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving platter.
Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart this sweet, sticky treat!
