Stuffed Monkey Bread

Who doesn’t like monkey bread? Sweet yeast dough topped with a cinnamon brown sugar glaze is always a delicious treat, but we’ve added our own twist to this favorite recipe.

We’ve piped a hint of cinnamon cream cheese into our rolls to add an even richer flavor!

Our cream cheese stuffed monkey bread does take a bit of time to make, as yeast breads require dough to rise and be punched down, but it is super simple. If you really can’t wait, you can always “cheat” by substituting frozen yeast rolls.

Either way, you’ll have a seriously great, melt in your mouth breakfast treat!

Instructions

 

• Mix yeast, water and sugar in mixing bowl and let stand for 5 minutes.

• Add half of remaining flour to mixture, once dough starts to form.
• Dust flour on clean workable surface and knead in remaining flour, just until dough is smooth enough to handle–dough should just start to feel elastic.
• Drizzle small about of oil in medium bowl and place dough in bowl; roll to coat in oil. Cover dough with towel and let rest in warm place for 1-2 hours, or until dough has doubled its size. Punch risen dough down then roll into a ball. Separate dough into 18-20 dough balls.

Pipe in small amount of filling into each roll. Place the rest of the dough balls in Bundt pan. Cover with towel again and let rest for 1 hour.
