Recipe: Biscoff Stuffed Browned Butter Monkey Bread

Ingredients:

For the Monkey Bread:

• 1 ¼ ounce pack of Instant or Dry Active Yeast (7 grams if weighing)
• ¼ cup Dark Brown Sugar, spooned and leveled (not packed) (50 grams)
• ⅔ cup Whole or 2% Milk, warmed to about 110°F (160 ml)
• ⅓ cup Salted Butter, softened to room temperature (75 grams)
• 1 Large Egg, room temperature
• ½ Teaspoon Salt
• 2 ¼ cups All-Purpose Flour, plus more for dusting and rolling the dough out (280 grams)

For the Filling:

• Biscoff Cookie Butter, balled into ½ teaspoons and chilled (25 balls, so just over ½ cup total Biscoff)

For the Topping:

• ⅔ cup Salted Butter, browned and slightly cooled (150 grams)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
• ½ cup Granulated Sugar (100 grams)
• ½ cup Brown Sugar, packed (100 grams)
• 2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

For the Glaze:

• Melted Biscoff
• Powdered Sugar (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, dark brown sugar, and warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add the softened butter, egg, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into about 25 small balls. Flatten each ball and place a a frozen ball of chilled Biscoff cookie butter in the center. Seal the dough around the filling and roll it into a ball again.
3. Prepare the Topping: In a saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium heat until it turns brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, mix together the Biscoff cookie butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste.
4. Assemble the Monkey Bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously. Roll each filled dough ball in the browned butter mixture, then coat it in the sugar mixture. Arrange the coated dough balls in the prepared bundt pan, stacking them as you go. Finish by pouring the remaining browned butter mixture over the monkey bread, letting it drizzle down into the pan. Sprinkle any remainder of the sugar mixture over the monkey bread as well.
5. Bake: Cover the bundt pan with a clean towel and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes. Once risen, bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting the pan and gently removing the bread.
6. Glaze: While still warm, drizzle melted Biscoff over the monkey bread. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar.
7. Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

1. Can I use other types of nut butter instead of Biscoff cookie butter?
2. Absolutely! While Biscoff cookie butter adds a unique flavor profile to this monkey bread, you can experiment with other nut butters like almond butter or peanut butter for a different twist.
3. How can I store leftovers?
4. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving if desired for that fresh-from-the-oven taste.
5. Can I prepare the dough in advance?
6. Yes, you can! Prepare the dough up to the point of shaping the balls and stuffing them with Biscoff cookie butter. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. Let the dough come to room temperature before proceeding with the recipe.

Dietary Substitutions:

I love providing gluten and dairy free substitutions so that those with alternate dietary needs can enjoy my recipes to their fullest! These are subs that I have either used and continue to stock in my own home, or that have come highly recommended from others. I want your baking experience to be the best it can be, and avoiding gluten or dairy shouldn’t hinder that process in the slightest. 

As always, here is a list of tried and true dietary substitutes, so that you can enjoy this recipe without the additions of gluten or dairy. 

Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour is a wonderful all-purpose sub, and it’s cup for cup, so use the same measurements as you would all-purpose flour. 

Miyokos butter is a plant based brick that closely resembles dairy butter not only in its look, but it’s taste as well. It melts, browns, and spreads just like real butter, and truly is a fantastic substitute in this recipe. Use it as a 1:1 ratio sub, same as the flour, so the recipe measurements will not change. 

Biscoff cookie butter is vegan, but not gluten free. Blue Sky Eating has recipes for both a gluten free Biscoff cookie sub and a spread as well! You'll need to make a batch of the cookies and then use that to make the spread. 

Conclusion:

There's something undeniably comforting about the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air. When that bread is stuffed with creamy Biscoff cookie butter and bathed in rich browned butter, it becomes an experience like no other. This recipe is a labor of love, requiring a bit of time and effort, but the end result is well worth it – a golden, pull-apart masterpiece that's as delicious as it is comforting. Whether you're gathered around the table with friends or enjoying a quiet night in, this decadent treat is sure to please. So roll up your sleeves, preheat that oven, and let the comforting aroma of homemade bread fill your home. Happy baking!
