This Savory Monkey Bread Is Made for Sharing Around the Holi

• timp total: 3 hours 46 minutes

Ingrediente

4 cups all-purpose flour

3 tbsp granulated sugar

2 1/4 tsp instant yeast

1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

2 large eggs

3/4 cup warm water

1/3 cup plus 6 tbsp #CaliforniaOliveRanch Miller’s Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 cup packed finely chopped herbs

1/2 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (well-drained if oil-packed)

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instrucțiuni

With a stand mixer & dough hook, add flour, sugar, yeast, salt (ensure salt isn’t touching the yeast), eggs, water, & 1/3 cup olive oil to the bowl. Mix low speed for 20 seconds, then increase to medium & knead for 7-10 mins, until dough is smooth and elastic. It’ll be tacky, but shouldn’t feel too wet—add flour, 1 tbsp at a time, if needed. Scrape dough into large, lightly oiled bowl, cover, & let rise until doubled in size, 1.5 to 2 hours.

Lightly oil a 12-15 cup Bundt pan. Punch down the dough & divide into 28 equal pieces (about 30 grams each), roll into balls.

Place remaining 6 tbs olive oil, herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, & parmesan cheese in individual bowls. Dip each ball of dough in olive oil, then into one of the toppings, gently pressing into the dough. Alternate the coated dough in the Bundt pan. Cover the pan and let rise for 30 minutes.

Toward the end of the rising time, heat the oven to 350F.

Uncover the pan & bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the internal temp reaches 190F. Start checking color & doneness after 30 mins—if the bread is getting too much color, lightly tent with a piece of foil.

Let cool in pan for 20 mins before inverting onto a rack to cool a few more mins.

3 tsp packed finely chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, parsley, dill, chives)

1/4 tsp chili flakes, more to taste

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/2 tsp kosher salt

Enjoy! 🫒
