Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond milk
- ¼ cup Vegan butter
- 1 package Yeast 7 grams or ¼ ounce and equals 2 ¼ teaspoons
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 2 ¼ all-purpose Flour
- Pinch of salt
Coating
- ⅔ cup melted vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and yeast. Add the warm water and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a bundt pan or deep dish pie pan with vegan butter.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into small balls about the size of a golf ball. Mix the melted vegan butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip each dough ball in the butter mixture, coating it evenly. Place the dough balls in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the nuts (if using) over the top of the dough balls. Place the dough balls in the prepared pan, cover it, and let it rise a second time for about 30 minutes.
- Bake the monkey bread for about 25-30 minutes, until it is a light golden brown color and the inside is soft and gooey. Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, and then turn it out onto a serving plate.
- Make the glaze by mixing all the ingredients and drizzling on top.
- Serve the monkey bread warm, pulling it apart with your hands. Enjoy!
Notes
-
- The pan. Use a bundt pan or deep pie pan for baking the monkey bread. These pans will help the dough balls bake evenly and give the monkey bread a nice shape.
-
- Don't overbake the vegan monkey bread. You want the dough balls to be soft and gooey, not dry and hard. Keep an eye on the bread as it bakes, and take it out of the oven when it is a light golden brown.
- To store monkey bread, let it cool completely and then wrap it tightly in plastic or aluminum foil. You can also place it in an airtight container. Monkey bread will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat monkey bread, you can place a piece of the bread in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds or until it is heated and the inside is warm and gooey.
You can also heat the monkey bread in a 350-degree F (180 degrees C) oven for about 10-15 minutes or until it is warmed. To reheat frozen monkey bread, you must thaw it first before heating it.
