Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ cup canola oil
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon canola oil, or as needed
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Combine warm water, brown sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl and let rest until frothy, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup oil and stir. Set aside.
- Sift flour and salt together in a bowl.
- Mix flour mixture into the yeast mixture and knead until dough forms a sticky ball. Coat the inside of another bowl with oil; transfer dough to the oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover the bowl and let dough rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, mix white sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
- Punch down risen dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture and arrange a layer in the prepared tube pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and drizzle with a bit of oil. Continue layering with remaining dough balls and cinnamon sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix confectioners’ sugar and milk together in a bowl. Drizzle glaze generously over the warm monkey bread.
