Pull Apart Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread

Ingredients

• 1.25 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup plain greek yogurt (non fat or full fat works)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 0.25 cup butter (melted)
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp milk (some users suggest 1 tbsp for better consistency)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, add the 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour and 1 tsp baking powder. Mix these dry ingredients together thoroughly.

3. 3

   Add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt to the flour mixture. Mix in the bowl until a shaggy dough forms.

4. 4

   Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. 5

   Optional: Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.

6. 6

   Cut the dough into 14-16 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.

7. 7

   Place the dough balls into a lined baking dish, arranging them so they are touching.

8. 8

   In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp cinnamon to create the glaze.

9. 9

   Pour or brush the cinnamon sugar glaze evenly over the top of the dough balls in the baking dish.

10. 10

    Bake at 375°F for 35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

11. 11

    Remove from the oven and allow the monkey bread to cool in the dish for 20 minutes.

12. 12

    While cooling, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp milk (add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency) to make the icing.

13. 13

    Drizzle the icing over the cooled monkey bread before serving.

Notes

The dough is based on the 'two-ingredient bagel' method. If the icing is too thick with only 1 tsp of milk, add more milk 1/2 teaspoon at a time until it reaches a drizzling consistency.
