Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g filtered water
  • 85 g active sourdough starter
  • 70 g cane sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 8 g sea salt
  • 430 g bread flour
  • 8 tbs unsalted butter (113g)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • For icing: 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tbs whole milk

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the filtered water and sourdough starter. Stir in cane sugar, egg, sea salt, and bread flour until combined into a sticky dough.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 4-6 hours until doubled.
  3. After rising, punch down the dough and divide it into small balls. Dip each ball in melted butter and coat with the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  4. Layer the coated balls in a bundt pan or oven-safe dish. Cover and let rise for another hour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before flipping onto a serving plate.
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk for icing; drizzle over warm monkey bread before serving.
