Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold
- 1 ¼ cup whole milk
For Rolling
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 18 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar firmly packed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease the inside of a bundt pan or tube pan with butter. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- Use a grater¹ to shred butter over flour mixture and then stir butter pieces into the flour mixture.
- Add milk and stir until you have a cohesive dough. Usually I will have to use my hands to work the dough together.
- Transfer dough to a clean, lightly floured surface. Form into a ball and then flatten dough to ½” thick.
- Using a sharp knife and pressing straight down into the dough (don’t “saw” the dough), cut dough into pieces smaller than 1”.
- Prepare cinnamon/sugar mixture by whisking together ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon. Roll each piece of dough through cinnamon/sugar then layer into prepared bundt pan.
- Sprinkle remaining cinnamon/sugar over dough. Set aside and prepare glaze.
GLAZE
- In a small saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar over medium heat and cook until butter is melted. Bring to a boil then remove from heat.
- Drizzle butter/sugar glaze evenly over dough.
- Transfer bundt pan to 350F (175C) oven and cook 30 minutes or until dough pieces are cooked through.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes then carefully invert onto serving platter. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- ¹Alternatively you can use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients! I've just found the grater to be quicker and easier.
- I've found that this Monkey bread is best served warm the day it is made.
