Ingredients:
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp; 7g) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup (60ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted (for coating dough)
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy (about 5-10 minutes).
- Stir in melted butter and egg. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size (around 1 hour).
- Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt butter for coating in a separate bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and tear pieces into smaller balls.
- Dip each ball in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Layer the coated dough balls into the bundt pan, ensuring an even spread. Cover the pan and let it rest for about 10 minutes before baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the bread cools, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm monkey bread, let it sit for a few minutes, and then enjoy!
