Caramel-Pecan Monkey Bread
- Number of Servings: 10
Ingredients
1 1/8 tsp active dry yeast2 Tbsp warm water (110* to 115*)1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp warm milk (110* to 115*)2 Tbsp butter, melted2 Tbsp sugar1 egg1/2 tsp salt2 1/2 cups flourCaramel:2/3 cup packed brown sugar1/4 cup butter, cubed1/4 cup milkAssembly:1/3 cup chopped pecans1/2 cup sugar1/2 tsp ground cinnamonAdditional milk
In a medium bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the milk, 2 Tbsp butter, sugar, egg, salt, and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
For caramel: in a small saucepan, bring the brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup milk to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Pour half of the caramel into a greased 10-inch bundt pan; sprinkle with half of the pecans.
Punch dough down; shape into 20 balls. In a shallow bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar with the cinnamon. Place additional milk, about 1/4 cup, in another bowl. Dip balls in milk, then roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place 10 balls in the pan; cover with remaining caramel and pecans. Top with remaining balls. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350* 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. (Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly.) Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack before inverting onto a serving place. Serve warm.
Tip: To save time, after kneading the dough and placing in a greased bowl refrigerate overnight. The next day, let the dough sit on the counter 30 minutes, then continue as the recipe directs.
