Directions:To make the sweet dough:
Whisk 1 cup flour with ¼ cup sugar, the yeast and salt in a large bowl.
Whisk in the milk, ⅓ cup hot water, 2 T butter and the egg.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in 1¾ cups flour and continue stirring until the dough starts to come together. Knead dough in the bowl until smooth and not sticky, adding more flour as needed.
Cover loosely with a damp kitchen towel and let rise until dough is doubled in size, about 1 hr.
To make Monkey Bread:
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 10 in Bundt pan lightly with oil.
Pour butter in a shallow dish. Stir brown sugar with cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Shape the sweet dough into 1 inch balls.
Dip each ball in the butter, then coat in sugar mixture.
Stack the balls in the Bundt pan, staggering each layer like bricks, then pat down.
Sprinkle any remaining butter and sugar over the dough.
Let rise until double in a warm place.
Bake in centre of the oven until golden brown, about 25min.
Transfer to rack and let stand for 5 min, then flip onto a plate.
Optional: Sift icing sugar into medium bowl. Stir in milk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm buns. |

Notes: This sweet dough is very versatile. You can use it for any of the recipes, such as Cinnamon Buns.
To make the balls, I patted the dough onto the counter, forming a square. then cut the dough into small squares, about 30, then formed those square into balls. I made this at Easter last year and it was so good we (just the two of us) ate almost half.
