Ingredients

Scale
  • Dough:
    • 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
    • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
    • 1/4 cup warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
    • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
    • 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F/45°C)
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • Maple Syrup Mixture:
    • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
    • In a large bowl, mix together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
    • In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, warm milk, sugar, and melted butter.
    • Add the yeast mixture and wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
    • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Make the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
    • In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    • Place the melted butter in another small bowl.
  • Form the Monkey Bread:
    • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter).
    • Dip each dough ball into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
    • Layer the coated dough balls in a greased Bundt pan.
  • Add the Maple Syrup Mixture:
    • Pour the melted butter and maple syrup evenly over the dough balls in the pan.
  • Second Rise:
    • Cover the Bundt pan with a clean towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.
  • Bake:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the monkey bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For an extra maple flavor, drizzle additional maple syrup over the monkey bread before serving.
  • You can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the fridge overnight for a quicker assembly in the morning.
