Ingredients

Plant-Based Dough

  • Flour (quantity as required for dough)
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Plant-based butter

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • Natural cinnamon
  • Sugar

Glaze

  • Plant-based butter
  • Brown sugar
  • Vanilla extract (natural)
  • Natural gelling agent

Additional Ingredients

  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Begin by mixing the plant-based dough ingredients, including flour, apple cider vinegar, and plant-based butter, to create a soft but manageable dough. Knead lightly until fully combined and smooth. Let the dough rest to rise gently, allowing lightness to develop.
  2. Form the Dough Balls: Divide the dough into small bite-sized balls for the signature pull-apart texture. These will be rolled in cinnamon sugar and layered in your baking dish.
  3. Add the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Mix sugar and natural cinnamon in a bowl. Roll each dough ball thoroughly in this mixture to ensure each piece is sweet and fragrant, giving Monkey Bread its irresistible flavor.
  4. Layer in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan or similar baking dish with plant-based butter, then layer the cinnamon-sugar coated dough balls inside, packing them snugly but not too tightly. This step helps build the characteristic Monkey Bread shape.
  5. Prepare the Sweet Glaze: In a saucepan, melt plant-based butter with brown sugar, vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent. Pour this syrup evenly over the dough balls to infuse moisture and sticky sweetness during baking.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake Monkey Bread in a preheated oven until the top is golden and caramelized. The inviting aroma indicates it is ready.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the bread to cool slightly before turning it out on a serving plate. The warm, sticky pieces will tear apart easily for sharing and enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and proper dough rise.
  • Allow dough to rest and rise for a fluffy, airy texture.
  • Roll each dough ball thoroughly in cinnamon sugar for an even, flavorful coating.
  • Grease your pan well to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  • Serve Monkey Bread warm for the best gooey and sticky experience.
