Ingredients

Bread

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • ½ tablespoon instant yeast
  • cup (82 g) whole milk, warmed, approximately 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • cups (286 g) bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Banana Mixture

Instructions

Bread

  • In a medium mixing bowl, mash bananas. Add yeast, milk, and butter. Stir to combine.
  • Add flour and salt and mix together until a sticky dough forms. Place dough into a greased bowl and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled.
  • When ready, fold dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 20 equal sections (about 40 grams each). Roll each section into a ball (like the size of a golf ball) and place it in a large bowl. Set aside.

Banana Mixture

  • In a small bowl combine brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Pour over the bread pieces and gently toss to combine.
  • Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with cooking spray. Add ⅓ of the diced bananas. Top with a layer of the coated bread pieces. Add another ⅓ of the bananas, followed by a second layer of bread, and top with a final layer of the remaining bananas.
  • Pour any excess butter mixture on top of the bread. Loosely cover with a piece of greased plastic wrap. Set aside to rise again until doubled (45-60 minutes).
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 190°F.
  • When the bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate. Enjoy!
