Monkey Bread (without cinnamon & sugar)

1 pkg rapid rise yeast
5.5 Cups of flour
1.5 tsp of salt
0.25 cup sugar
1 cup of warm milk
0.5 cup of warm water
0.5 cup of melted butter
3 lg eggs-beaten

When cutting out the squres dip each into some melted butter before placing in pan. This gives the bread a bit more flavor. I excluded it to make it less fatty but it does make a difference flavor wise.

1. In a large bowl mix yeast, 3 cups of flour, salt, and sugar.

2.Beat in the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and beaten eggs.

3. Continueing to beat the dough add in the remaining (2.5 cups) flour. May have to add the last amount by hand. Try to use the beaters as long as possible.

4. Knead for a few mins, then let rest for 10 mins.

5. Flatten to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into 2 inch squares (i used a glass to do this)

6. Place in greased bunt pan (i made 3 layers)

7. Cover and let rise in warm place till dough has doulbed in size (about an 1 hour)

8. Bake in 375F oven for approx 45 mins

9. Turn out on rack to cool and ENJOY!
