Instructions
- In a large, bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, butter, sugar, eggs, salt, and half of the flour (2 1/2 cups) Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining flour until it forms a firm dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 7-8 minutes).
- Place in a greased bowl and turn over to get the whole dough ball greasy. Cover and let rise for about an hour or until the dough doubles in size.
- In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and cream and bring to a boil. Stir for about 3 minutes until it's nice and melted together. Pour half of the caramel sauce into a greased, fluted pan. If you are using pecans, add half of them to the pan as well.
- When the dough is done, punch it down and form it into 35-40 balls. In a pie pan or shallow bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Place melted butter in another bowl. Dip balls in butter, then roll in a cinnamon/sugar mixture. Arrange dough balls into the fluted pan.
- Pour the remaining caramel sauce evenly on top of the dough balls.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown (if they are browning too fast you can loosely cover it with tin foil). Cool for 10 minutes, then turn upside down onto a serving plate.
Notes
- Store any leftover caramel monkey bread in a plastic bag at room temperature. It should stay soft and fresh for about two days. Freezing leftovers is also an option. Monkey bread will keep for about a month in the freezer.
