Ingredients

• 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm the milk and 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat until the butter is just melted and the mixture is lukewarm. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and knead the dough on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until soft and elastic.

Step 5

Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 1-inch balls (about 50 pieces).

Step 7

In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. In another bowl, stir the melted butter with vanilla extract.

Step 8

Dip each dough ball in the melted butter, then roll it in the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat.

Step 9

Grease a bundt pan or large tube pan with cooking spray and arrange the coated dough balls in layers, filling the pan evenly.

Step 10

Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

Bake the monkey bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 13

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving platter.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, pull-apart sweetness!
