Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups soy milk (warmed)
- 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup vegan butter (melted)
- 4-5 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup vegan butter (melted)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp soy milk
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Generously grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Place the soy milk in a microwave safe bowl or measuring glass cup and heat for 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until warm like bathwater.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or other large bowl), add the warm milk, yeast and sugar. Stir.
- Now add the melted vegan butter, 1 cup of flour and salt. Using the dough hook (or a large wooden spoon if you don’t have a stand mixer), mix on low speed for about 30 seconds.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add 3 more cups of flour, beating with the dough hook until the dough comes together and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Touch the dough; if it’s still quite wet and sticky, add an additional 1/2-1 cup of flour, until you have a slightly sticky dough. Don’t add so much flour it becomes dry, a little bit of stickiness is good.
- Knead the dough with the dough hook for another 2 minutes OR knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes.
- Lightly grease a large bowl with nonstick spray and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a tea towel and allow it to rise for about 1 hour, until double in size.
- In a small bowl, melt the vegan butter.
- In another bowl stir together the sugars and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Shape the dough and coat
- Remove the dough form the bowl and press into a square, about 8 inches.
- Now using a knife, cut the dough into about 50-60 pieces. It doesn’t have to be perfect and they don’t all have to be exactly the same. Just make them quite small, about 1 inch big.
- Shape each piece into a ball, but again, they don’t have to be perfect. Dip into melted butter then roll in sugar mixture. Place in the greased bundt pan, building layers of coated dough balls.
- Cover the pan with the dough balls and preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Uncover, place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until bubbling around the edges. Cool for 5 minutes them invert onto a plate or platter. Don’t let it sit for longer before removing from the pan or some will stick! Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
- Make the icing: Whisk all of the glaze ingredients together in a bowl. Drizzle over the monkey bread. Serve and enjoy! We usually just let everyone pick off the pieces of bread themselves until it's gone, which doesn't take long!
- Monkey bread is best served the same day, but it can still be enjoyed the next day, or up to 4 days if stored in the refrigerator covered well.
