Ingredients
  

For the dough:

  • 1 1/4 cups hot milk about 110F/ 43C
  • 1 pkg active dry yeast 2-¼ teaspoons
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt

For the sauce:

  • 1 tbs cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup butter melted

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in a ¼ cup of the hot milk and set aside.
  • In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg.
  • Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle.
  • Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

To rise:

  • Place an 8-ounce cup of hot water into the microwave and heat on high for 3 minutes to moisten the oven.
  • Remove the mug and place the bowl with the dough into the microwave and heat on its lowest setting (10% power) for 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce by melting the butter then add the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
  • Then let the dough rest in the microwave for 3 minutes.
  • Heat the dough (still on its lowest setting) for another 3 minutes.
  • Then let the dough rest in the microwave for 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375F/180C
  • When doubled in size, punch down dough.
  • Stir the sauce to make sure it's fully combined. Pour a little of the sauce into the bottom of a bundt pan.
  • Form dough into approximately 1-inch balls and layer to cover the bottom of the pan using ½ of the dough mixture.
  • Pour over ½ of the remaining sauce. Continue to layer 1-inch balls of dough until it is gone. Pour remaining sauce over the mixture.
  • Place on baking sheet to catch any overflow of topping and bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and wait 5 minutes to turn out on a large plate and serve.

Notes

One Hour Homemade Monkey Bread

Think you don't have time to make homemade, oven-warm batch of monkey bread?  Think again! With this method, you can make Monkey Bread from scratch in an hour!
NOTE: Before attempting this method, please see the baker’s tip at the bottom of the post for a microwave test.  I wouldn’t want you to ruin dough you spent a lot of time on in a microwave that won’t rise dough.
If your microwave isn't suitable, you can always rise the dough the old fashion way.
