Here is a bread machine monkey bread recipe, though it can easily be done in the conventional muscle-building way. Use the dough-only setting in machines with 1 1/2- to 2-pounds capacity and do the rest by hand. Try adding 1/4 cup chopped nuts along with the raisins.
Ingredients
- 2.5 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons margarine , softened
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
-
1
Remove the baking pan from the machine. Place yeast, flour, cinnamon, salt, white sugar, 2 tablespoons margarine, and water in the order recommended for the bread machine. Make sure that no liquid comes in contact with yeast. Select dough cycle and press start.
-
2
Transfer dough to a floured surface; knead 10 to 12 times. Set aside to rest.
-
3
Melt 1 cup margarine in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in brown sugar and raisins until smooth. Remove from heat.
-
4
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a Bundt or tube pan.
-
5
Cut dough into 1-inch chunks. Drop a chunk at a time into brown sugar mixture to thoroughly coat. Layer dough pieces loosely in the prepared pan, staggering layers, so you're plopping each dough chunk over a space between two below. Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until dough is just over the top of the pan, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
7
Remove from the oven and cover the pan with a plate. Holding the plate and the pan with oven mitts, flip over both until bread slides out onto the plate. Serve warm.
