Monkey Bread (Spice Bun)

This bread/bun caught my attention and I manage to print the recipe from Michael Smith show Chef At Home 5.  Just follow as the recipe and you will not go wrong.  It taste real nice.  The next time I will reduce the sugar and increase the spice. 

If you like spice than you will enjoy this.

Monkey Bread By: Michael Smith

Ingredients: For the bread: 4 tablespoons butter, melted 2 cups milk 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 tablespoon instant yeast 4 cups flour 2 teaspoons salt For Rolling: 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons cinnamon 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons, 4 ounces or 1/2 cup), melted

Method: Preheat oven to 200°. Lightly oil a large bundt pan or other baking pan. In the bowl of a stand-up mixer fitted with dough hook attachment, add the melted butter, milk, brown sugar, vanilla and yeast. Mix for a few minutes and then add the flour and salt. Mix until the dough comes together in a shiny mass, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Put the dough into a large oiled bowl, cover with a towel and place in the preheated warm oven to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. When the dough has risen, take it out of the oven and pour the melted butter into a small bowl. Put the sugar and cinnamon into a second bowl and whisk well to combine. Punch down the dough to knock the air out of it and then form and roll small balls in your hand or on the counter. Dip them first in the melted butter and then roll in the cinnamon sugar and layer them into the bundt pan or other baking pan. Put the pan into the oven to rise for a second time, for about 45 minutes, until the dough balls reach the top of the pan and double once again. Remove from the oven and increase the heat to 350°. Once hot, place the pan back into the oven and bake for 40 minutes.

Having fun @ Pak Long Nelayan

It is sad to leave behind a group of friends who enjoy each other company with jokes, laughter, food and bad/good time. 

But life has to go on like how the clock keep ticking.  

Thank you for all the support from all of you in good and bad times.  Sorry if any "kasar bahasa" during my time there. I really hope she will find some one with same chemistry as her for the good of the department.

Till we cross the same path again in near future.  

Cheers
