Ingredients
Bread
- 3 ripe bananas
- ½ tablespoon instant yeast
- ⅓ cup (82 g) whole milk, warmed, approximately 110°F
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2¼ cups (286 g) bread flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Banana Mixture
- 2 cups (400 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 ripe bananas, diced into small pieces, divided
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!
