Monkey Bread Masterclass

Sweet, squishy, doughy loveliness. James picked up this recipe on his travels round the USA. Like donuts...but a bit extra!

Ingreadient :
    • 500g strong bread flour
    • 2 eggs
    • 50g caster sugar
    • 5g salt
    • 15g yeast
    • 60g melted butter
    • 250ml warm milk
    • 250g Demerara sugar
    • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
    • 200g butter melted
    • to serve, maple syrup
Direction :
    1. Warm the milk and yeast gently.
    2. Preheat the oven to 180C.
    3. For the dough, place all the ingredients into a mixer with a dough hook. Knead for 10 minutes, leave to prove until doubled in size then roll into 20 balls. Roll them in the melted butter, then the sugar mix.
    4. Fill up a greased 28cm savarin mould and leave to prove until the dough is at the top of the tin, then bake at 180c for 25 to 30 minutes. Tip onto a board, drizzle in maple syrup.
    5. Some of the dough from above can be fried into donuts and rolled in caster sugar.
