Its been a while Monkey Bread. You and I haven't met for a long while and there is a reason for that. That reason is because I eat you in whole before the night is over. Nothing is ever left.
Only regret. Because stomach aches are a thing...
I got the recipe from here.
So you want to start out with a whopping 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, 1 1/3 cups warm water, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let that dissolve and sit for about 5 minutes.
In a separate mixing bowl mix together 3 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 2 teaspoons salt.
Add in the yeast mixture.
Beat the dough on medium high for about 5 minutes.
Then coat the bottom of the bowl and the top of the dough with oil.
Let rise for 1 1/2 hours.
Cut into small balls.
Make a mixture of 1/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. (I added plenty more cinnamon.)
Roll the balls in the sugar cinnamon mixture and place in a bundt pan or equivalent.
On the stove melt 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar and 2 teaspoons water.
Pour over the cinnamon balls and put in the oven at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Take out of the oven and flip it over.
Its even better than it looks, if that is possible.
