Description

Blueberry Monkey Bread is a delightful twist on the classic, shareable treat, combining the comforting familiarity of monkey bread with the burst of juicy sweetness from fresh blueberries. Each bite is a symphony of soft, buttery dough, caramelized sugar, and the delightful tang of blueberries.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 1/2 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

For the Coating:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

For the Glaze (optional):

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, remaining sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  7. Melt the Butter: Melt the remaining butter and place it in a separate bowl.
  8. Punch Down the Dough: Gently punch down the risen dough to release the air.
  9. Shape the Dough: Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness on a floured surface.
  10. Cut into Pieces: Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into small, approximately 1-inch pieces.
  11. Coat and Arrange: Dip each piece of dough into the melted butter, then toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place the coated dough pieces into a well-greased bundt pan, distributing the blueberries evenly among them.
