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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Heat the milk until warm (about 110°F). Stir in the melted butter and add this liquid mixture to the dry ingredients.

Step 3

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).

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Punch down the dough and divide it into small, even pieces (about 1-inch size balls). Roll each piece into a smooth ball.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Melt the additional 8 tablespoons of butter in a separate bowl.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Once all the dough balls are layered, cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator overnight to rise slowly.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart this sweet, sticky treat!
