Ingredients

How to make it

  • Spray a 10" tube pan (angel food cake pan) with cooking nonstick spray.
  • In a bowl place 1-1/2 cups of the flour. Add the sugar, yeast, warm water, egg, salt, and softened butter. Blend together with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Beat 3 minutes on medium speed.
  • Stir in the remaining 2 cups of flour on low speed until just combined.
  • Knead dough on floured work surface for 1 minute.
  • Press the dough into a 12 x 15-inch rectangle.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch diamond-shaped pieces.
  • Place the melted butter into a shallow pan, dip the diamond-shaped bread pieces into the butter, and layer in the prepared baking pan.
  • Cover the bread with a piece of plastic wrap or a dish towel. Let rise, until doubled in size, about an hour.
  • In a 350ºF preheated oven, bake the bread for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool the pan for 2 minutes, invert on a serving plate, remove the pan, and serve.

    I forgot all about monkey bread...what a fun bread it is and you can add so many things and flavors to it...I used to cram a cinn. and pecan mixture between the pieces before letting it rise.
    Thanks for reminding me...I'm drooling in anticipation.
