Easy Homemade Monkey Bread (2 Ways)

there are many recipes throughout time that have remained unchecked especially bread recipes and today we're going to chin check this one [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay so today we are making pull apart bread monkey bread whatever you want to call it balls in a pan and you bake it for the longest time people have been doing with this pre-canned biscuit dough or pre-can this just make the dough it takes very little time you're just going to wait for it to rise we're going to make it with a brioche style dough more specifically we're going to do it two different ways a sweet way in a savory way you got your dessert and you got your i guess you put it on the dinner table right instead of dinner rolls you put you put this on there see look at that you like that that's pretty cool now with all that said let's make this shall we well well well here we are we made it to the ooey gooey breadland this is the kind of stuff that you eat until you feel physical pain which i don't recommend for the record now we have two for you here a sweet garam masala rum caramel sticky bun monkey bread and a savory sesame parmigiano garlic monkey bread don't that sound good i know your body is tingling right now thankfully these both use the exact same dough so we're gonna start there it's easy so again remain calm and stress free now acquire one and a half cups or 375 milliliters of whole milk that's around 95 degrees fahrenheit give the glass a few taps for good vibes then to that you're gonna mix in two and a quarter teaspoon or seven grams of instant yeast and place that to the side now in the bowl of stand mixer add four and a quarter cup or six hundred and forty grams of all-purpose flour then to that you're gonna add a quarter cup or 52 grams of granulated sugar i actually wrote garn-laded sugar so that too and one and a quarter cup or five grams of fine sea salt mix together until thoroughly combined and pop that brother onto your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment then begin mixing that on medium speed and slowly pour in six tablespoons or 82 grams of unsalted butter that's been gently melted okay gently not hot once it's incorporated pour in your big yeasty milkies followed by two large eggs then just let that mix for about three to four minutes or until you get a nice homogeneous dough yes it's going to be quite sticky now dump that out onto a floured work surface give it a few slap and folds then using flour to de-stick as necessary gently form into a ball plop that into a grease bowl and let it rest covered for 10 minutes then pull it out slap and fold for two more minutes then back into your bowl plastic wrap it and let it rise for one to two hours at room temp now while that's going let's make a rum caramel in a medium saucepan combine one cup or 200 grams of granulated sugar and a quarter cup or 60 milliliters of water make sure the sugar is totally saturated with the water then heat that over medium low till the sugar is dissolved then take one cinnamon stick char it lightly with a kitchen torch or on your stovetop then place that into your sugar syrup and let it continue to simmer for about five to eight minutes or until it turns a beautiful amber color please do me a favor while this is simmering don't stir it immediately whisk in a third cup or 75 grams of cubed cold unsalted butter then once that's emulsified whisk in half a cup of heavy whipping cream then remove that from the heat and finally whisk in three and a half tablespoons or 50 milliliters of your favorite rum now pull your cinnamon stick out and place it in the container you plan to store this in and you guessed it pour your rum caramel in and let that bad boy cool all the way down now just before your dough is and done let's make our masala sugar it sounds fancy it's quite easy combine one cup or 200 grams of granulated sugar with one tablespoon or 14 grams of garam masala spice and a quarter teaspoon of fresh grated nutmeg whisk that together and that's your now take your fully matured and risen dough with all of its aspirations and dreams then quickly punch out every last quark of life out of it then dump it onto a lightly floured work surface and divide that bad boy into 45 small pieces at this point i really recommend weighing these dough pieces out which you're going to want all of them to be about 28 to 30 grams each then once you have all of your pieces roll those bad boys into taut and supple bowls each and every one of them all those balls oh yeah nice balls now lightly grease a bundt cake pan roll the bowl in your masala sugar and place it in your cake pan then repeat with all of your dough dough piece balls sugar cake pan rinse and repeat until you've used all of your dough and your bundt pan is full like this now cover that with plastic wrap and let that proof at room temp for 20 minutes and just before that's done in a small saucepan combine half a cup or 112 grams of unsalted butter with one cup or 215 grams of packed light brown sugar heat it over low heat until everything is melted increase the heat to medium low and bring them to a light simmer then after simmering for about a minute and it looks homogenous pour your glaze while it's hot over your masala monkey bread and pop it into your oven that's been preheated to 350 fahrenheit to 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and lovely take it out of the oven let it cool for five minutes and then invert it on a large serving platter or cake stand and immediately remove that top and drench that guy with as little or as much rum caramel as you like once it's coated serve immediately while warm trust me this gotta be served while warm it's so much better now at this point just take a gander at how fluffy light and rich that dough is looking one catch of the eye on that and good lord have mercy on my soul for i'm about to push it down wow look at this we let it rise a little too long so it looks more bunt cake like but i can assure you there's big bowls in here i will demonstrate how big the balls are oh my god look at this just soaked oh oh my god it's so good i just swallowed that whole ball barely barely chewed it that could be used in so many meme formats this is so good i just swallowed a whole ball most of these sort of like pull apart breads monkey breads whatever the hell you want to call them they're always slightly under baked in a way that's not good right they're gummy this is like fluffy but it has that density it kind of has that custard-like quality it's soft and pillowy like biting into a cloud but the cloud is covered in rum caramel and glaze and masala spice that's it i she doing that all for me yeah you guys can try this that's perfect there's nothing more pillowy than this this is so good it's like if god personally made a cinnamon roll this is a bun better this is donut holes better cinnamon rolls better cake better this is the ultimate dessert this is something good instead of chewing it i just want to grab it just you heard it from the squad from myself this is the greatest monkey bread of your entire life but we're not gonna stop here i got one more thing right up my pantaloons why did i say that okay next up is mr savory so same thing make the dough rise it punch it down divide it into 45 pieces make bowls and we're back to the spot i want you in this time we have two coating agents here one will be plain untoasted sesame seeds and the other will be a mixture of two cups of finely grated parmesan reggiano a quarter cup finely chopped garlic half a cup of finely chopped parsley and one teaspoon of thyme leaves toss that together and that's coating number two now once you have all of your prepped balls we're gonna first dip our ball gently in melted unsalted butter again make sure your butter's not hot okay just melted then roll it in one of the coatings of choice until fully coated then toss into the prepared bundt pan then with the next ball dip in the butter and coat in the opposing coating see where i'm going here you're going to repeat alternating between each one we're not doing both on one ball to one or the other so keep on repeating alternating between each type of coating to get a varying texture then once you're done with that and all of your dough balls are coated and in the bundt pan take the remainder of that butter and parmesan garlic mixture combine the two and pour half of that on top of your dough you can save the rest for literally anything put it on a steak you're gonna love it now cover that with plastic wrap and proof for 20 minutes then remove the plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes or until a beautifully golden brown and yet again pop it out of the bundt pan onto a plate and observe a more beautiful garlic bread worthy of its finger food capabilities now let's give these two a taste test and see if there is a real winner in this bread doughy world look at this guy look at parmigiano garlic sesame monkey bread first off the caramelization the browning the my yard and then look at this glistening good lord janice goddamn oh my god the verdict i actually still like the sweet one over this but imagine you're hosting a party you just want one monkey bread for dessert why not have a savory one beforehand make a little sandwich with this dip it in a ranch you're welcome that'll be 400 billion dollars oh so we have two different monkey breads it's up to you which one you want to make this was made properly i'm sick and tired of seeing the biscuit version all right using the instant biscuit just make your own damn dough just make your own dough take your leave buddy bone apple tea you want to know what else has grubby little finger foods clawing for the next little roll b-roll [Music] all right guys and that is it so we made our monkey bread pull apart bread ball bread balls and a thing with balls see where we're going with this if i'm being honest i prefer the sweet one probably because i have a little bit more of a sweet tooth i will say that the parmesan garlic was in general a crowd favorite a lot of people kept going back to it i really liked it so depending what you're doing pick what you want that's what it's all about so with all that said if you enjoyed this video or you learned something leave a like subscribe and i will see you [Music] you
