Ingredients

For the dough:
  • 1 package yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/3 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 cups flour
Other ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2-3 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 11 oz center-cut bacon chopped into pieces

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, butter, sugar, eggs, salt and half of the flour (2 1/2 cup) and whisk together.
  2. In a stand up mixer with a hook attachment, beat on medium speed for 3 min. Add remaining flour and knead in mixer for 7-8 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Place in lightly oiled bowl and turn over to get the whole dough ball lightly oiled and shiny. Cover and let rise for about an hour or until dough doubles in size.
  4. When dough is done, punch it down and form into 35-40 small balls. In a pie pan or shallow bowl, combine sugars and cinnamon. Place melted butter in another bowl. Dip balls in butter, then roll in cinnamon/sugar mixture.
  5. Spray bundt pan with non stick cooking stray. Pour about 1/3 of the maple syrup in a bundt pan and sprinkle with 1/3 of the bacon crumbles.
  6. Place 20 or so of the dough balls in the bundt pan. Top with another 1/3 of the syrup and bacon. Add remaining dough balls and top with remaining syrup and bacon.
  7. Cover and let rise about 40 minutes, until doubled in size again.
  8. 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 up-side down onto a serving plate.

Notes

  • How to Store Maple Bacon Monkey Bread - It is best to wrap this monkey maple bread in a plastic wrap. Store at room temperature, in the refrigerator, or even freeze the plastic wrapped bread. The fridge will help last for one to two days, whereas the freezer will last for about one to two months.
  • Cooking spray - This is a MUST!! Because the monkey bread with maple and butter mixture is sticky, it is best to spray or coat the pan with butter before adding in the dough.
  • Bundt pan - Pick the right bundt pan! There are so many types and beautiful bundt pans out there, but you will want one that is not too extravagant. This will make it harder for the dough to conform and stick to each other.
  • Make it easier! Instead of making your own homemade dough, use cut up biscuit pieces from a can. This will reduce the waiting time as well as making it easier if you need it quicker.
