Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Get oven and pan ready:
  2. Adjust oven rack to medium-low position and heat oven to 200°F.
  3. When oven reaches 200, turn it off.
  4. Butter Bundt pan with 2 tablespoons softened butter.
  5. Set aside.
  6. Make dough: In large measuring cup, mix together milk, water, melted butter, sugar, and yeast.
  7. To proceed with a stand mixer, mix flour and salt in standing mixer fitted with dough hook.
  8. Turn machine to low and slowly add milk mixture.
  9. After dough comes together, increase speed to medium and mix until dough is shiny and smooth, 6 to 7 minutes.
  10. (The dough should be sticky but if it is too wet to come together into anything cohesive, add an additional 2 tablespoons flour.)
  11. Turn dough onto lightly floured counter and knead briefly to form smooth, round ball.
  12. To proceed by hand, mix flour and salt in large bowl.
  13. Make well in flour, then add milk mixture to well.
  14. Using wooden spoon, stir until dough becomes shaggy and is difficult to stir.
  15. Turn out onto lightly floured work surface and begin to knead, incorporating shaggy scraps back into dough.
  16. Knead until dough is smooth and satiny, about 10 minutes.
  17. Shape into taut ball and proceed as directed.
  18. Coat large bowl with nonstick cooking spray or a tablespoon of neutral oil.
  19. Place dough in bowl and coat surface of dough with more cooking spray or oil.
  20. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in warm oven until dough doubles in size, 50 to 60 minutes.
  21. Make brown sugar coating:
  22. Place melted butter in one bowl.
  23. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a second one.
  24. Form the bread:
  25. Flip dough out onto floured surface and gently pat into an 8-inch square.
  26. Using a bench scraper or knife, cut dough into 64 pieces.
  27. I found it helpful to immediately separate them from the rest of the “grid” or they quickly reformed a big doughy square in 64 parts.
  28. Roll each piece of dough into ball.
  29. Working one at a time, dip balls in melted butter, allowing excess butter to drip back into bowl. (I found a fork to be helpful for this process.)
  30. Roll in brown sugar mixture, then layer balls in Bundt pan, staggering seams where dough balls meet as you build layers.
  31. Cover Bundt pan tightly with plastic wrap and place in turned-off oven until dough balls are puffy and have risen 1 to 2 inches from top of pan, 50 to 70 minutes.
  32. Bake bread: Remove pan from oven and heat oven to 350°F.
  33. Unwrap pan and bake until top is deep brown and caramel might begin to bubble around edges, 30 to 35 minutes.
  34. (The reason for the “might” is that CI says that it should, but mine did not bubble, leading me to bake mine for an extra 5 to 10 minutes, during which it still did not bubble but go the dark crust .
  35. Next time, I’d take it out sooner.)
  36. Cool in pan for 5 minutes (no longer, or you’ll have trouble getting it out) then turn out on platter and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  37. Make glaze:
  38. Beat cream cheese with some powdered sugar until smooth and light.
  39. Just taste and adjust — you’re looking for something that tastes equally tangy and sweet, and texturally thin enough to drape over the bread but thick enough that it will not just roll off completely.
  40. Drizzle the glaze over warm monkey bread, letting it run over top and sides of bread.
  41. Serve warm.
  42. Variation: slightly brown the melted butter you roll the balls of dough into. amazingly delicious
  43. And then you can call it Brown Butter Cinnamon Brown Sugar Monkey Bread. !
