Whole Wheat Monkey Bread
A sweet whole grain treat, perfect for Sunday brunch
In a large mixing bowl, combine warmmilk and ¼ cup sugar. Add
yeast and let sit for 5 minutes. Add butter, eggs, and flour. Mix on low
speed with a dough hook for 3 minutes if using a stand mixer, or mix
by hand for 5 minutes, until all ingredients are uniformly combined.
Add salt and mix in mixer on medium for 4 minutes, or by hand for
6–8 minutes. Dough will be very wet. Transfer dough to a clean bowl
coated lightly with oil. Turn dough over to evenly coat with oil, cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Set aside a 10-inch
nonstick bundt pan. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and
remaining ½ cup sugar. Remove dough from the refrigerator and
divide into two equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a ½-inch
thick rope. Cut or pinch off portions of dough ½-inch long and roll
into individual balls. Toss dough balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture and
place in bundt pan. When all dough as been added to the pan, cover
and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F and prepare the syrup.
