Step-by-step cooking
Honestly, I don't know why this bread is called monkey bread. But the recipe refers to American cuisine. The biggest charm of bread is not even in its excellent taste, but in the fact that it can be broken off in pieces. With some kind of gravy or sauce (especially hot), monkey bread is a real find.
First we prepare the sourdough: in warm water we dilute the yeast and sprinkle with sugar. Let it stand for half an hour.
Next, cut into pieces the softened butter (100 grams), put it in a bowl, pour the warmed milk. Salt and mix. Pour in the sourdough, continuing to mix. We drive in the eggs and add the flour sifted beforehand. Beat with a whisk until the density of the dough allows. Then we knead it with our hands.
We spread the ball of dough on a floured cutting board and thoroughly grind it with our hands. After rolling the ball again, put it in a bowl, smear with vegetable oil. And leave for half an hour or an hour in a warm place.
Butter (100 grams) is melted on the stove.
Divide the dough into two parts and then roll out into a sheet of 10 millimeters (as much as possible). Each sheet is lubricated with melted butter. And we cut it the way we cut it on cookies – in small diamonds, squares, circles, as you want.
After we take a bread baking dish (in general, in the USA they bake it in a round shape with a notch in the middle), lubricate it with oil, sprinkle with flour.
Dip each piece in butter and put it in a mold on top of each other.
Now we put the mold in the oven for forty-five minutes at a temperature of two hundred degrees.
When the bread is ready, turn off the stove and let it cool down there without removing it.
After 20 minutes, you can take it out and keep it in shape for another 10 minutes.
Americans smear monkey bread with jam, jam, cream. It turns out something like a pie.
