Monkey Bread

3/4 cup warm milk 110ºF
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast 1 envelope
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg room temp
1 egg yolk additional, room temp
1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
3 cup bread flour or 360g all purpose flour + 3.57g vital wheat gluten
3/4 tsp salt
Brown Butter Cinnamon Sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1.5 tbsp cinnamon
Vanilla Icing
1 cup icing sugar
2-3 tbsp whole milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
Special Equipment
6 cup bundt pan

Instructions
In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the milk and sprinkle on the yeast. Let sit until the yeast starts to foam, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the sugar, egg, egg yolk, and melted butter then stir in the flour and salt with a wooden spoon until everything comes together into a ball of dough.
Knead with the dough hook on medium for 8 minutes. Alternately, knead by hand for 8-10 minutes on a floured surface. Lightly oil and large bowl and place the dough inside.

Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let rise for 1 to 1 and a half hours or until doubled in size.

My family love sweets in the morning. Well, actually I love savories first, but after a hearty breakfast, I always feel like it makes sense to finish on something sweet. Something like monkey bread!

I love those little pull apart squishy balls of chewy, fluffy cinnamon-sugar goodness. If you haven’t had monkey bread before, you’re missing out! Think of it like a cross between a cinnamon bun and pull apart bread. What is it about eating with your hands that is so much more fun that using a knife and fork? Use your hands to really get in there and get those gooey lil cloud-like pillows of sweetness. Monkey bread is a treat best enjoyed warm, with the ones you love.
What is monkey bread?
It has a funny name but it has nothing to do with monkeys or bananas! Monkey bread is a gooey cinnamon sugar pull apart bread that’s baked in a bundt pan. It’s made with soft and squishy pieces of sweet dough dipped in cinnamon and sugar, baked up gooey and sweet.
