Best and Easy Homemade Monkey Bread (aka Cinnamon Roll Bites)

In a large bowl add warm milk, teaspoon of sugar and sprinkle active dry yeast into it. Cover, and let the yeast activate. This will take approximately 10 minutes.

Now add the remaining sugar, salt and flour and mix it until you have a loose sticky dough. Then knead it for atleast 10 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic.

Grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Transfer the dough and cover it. Place it in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the dough is doubled in size.

In a plate add sugar and cinnamon powder and mix well. In another bowl, melt the butter. Grease the bundt pan with some melted butter.

Once the dough has doubled in size, take small pieces of dough and roll them to lemon-sized balls.

Roll each ball in the melted butter, then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and drop it in the bundt pan. Keep repeating the process until all the dough is used up.

Cover this and keep it in warm place for 30 to 40 minutes or until it is doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until done. Let it cool down for about 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the bundt pan and turn it onto the serving plate.

In large bowl add sugar and water and heat till you see the bubble. Now add the cardamom powder.

Drizzle this syrup on the bread and garnish it with roasted almond and cashews. Monkey Bread is ready. Pull apart to serve and enjoy!
