Ingredients

  • Batter
  • 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tablespoon melted butter
  • ½ cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
  • Coating/Layering:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 1 block cream cheese not softened
  • 12 oz pecan pieces
  • Topping optional
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flour, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, water, pumpkin, melted butter, sugar, and yeast.
  • Add wet ingredients to the dry and mix together.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand until elastic
  • Once the dough is elastic, transfer to a bowl sprayed with cooking spray. Flip the dough over so that the top is coated and won't dry out. Cover with a towel and allow to rise until double in size or about an hour.
  • Once the dough is doubled, pinch into 2" balls
  • Cut a block of refrigerated cream cheese into tiny cubes. (You'll need to get 40-45 cubes out of one block so slice small.)
  • Tuck a cube of cream cheese into each dough ball to stuff them
  • Melt a stick of butter and set it aside
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for rolling the dough balls.
  • Dip each stuffed dough ball in the melted butter then roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture
  • Place one layer of balls in a Bundt pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle pecans on top then add another layer of balls. Repeat dough ball/pecan layers until the Bundt pan is a little over half full.
  • After layering is complete, sprinkle any leftover butter and cinnamon/sugar mixture on top, cover, and allow to rise again for about an hour.
  • Once the dough has risen for the second time, bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
  • After baking, let the monkey bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes (but no longer or it will get stuck!) then flip onto a serving platter.
  • Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar before serving

Notes

A tighter packed pan makes cake-like, sliceable monkey bread whereas a lightly packed pan (ie just laying the balls in the pan) makes for pull-apart monkey bread.
