Monkey Bread
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, melted and divided
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 & 2/3 cups flour
  • 1 package dry yeast
Combine milk, 1/2 cup butter, sugar and salt in a pan. Heat until butter is melted.

IMPORTANT! Cool to 110 degrees, then stir in the yeast until dissolved.
Place flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the flour and pour in the liquid mixture. Stir until well blended.
Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn dough out onto a floured board. Roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch squares. Dip each square into remaining butter.

Layer squares in a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 40 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack. When cooled, cover with an inverted serving plate, then flip over to drop the bread onto the plate.

You can either slice the bread, or pull off a square as you want to eat it.
