It’s your typical pull-apart monkey bread infused with butter and spiced brown sugar, then drizzled with eggnog glaze. Dreamy, isn’t it?
Here’s a peek at how you make it: Using a stand-mixer is easiest (but you can certainly knead by hand if you’ve got the energy). Let the dough hook do all of the mixing and kneading for you, then plop the dough into a bowl and let it rise in a warm place. My secret place for letting bread rise is my oven. I turn it on 400 for one minute only, then turn it off. Then I turn on the oven light, set my bowl of bread dough on the oven rack, cover it with a towel, and let it rise. It makes a cozy place for rising, but you have to make sure that you turn the oven OFF!
The risen dough is transferred to a floured surface.
Roll the dough out into a square. Cut the square into fourths. Cut each fourth into sixteen pieces. How many pieces do you have now? There’s your math lesson for today 😉 By the way… easiest way to do this: use a bench scraper.
Roll each piece of dough into a ball, dip it in melted butter, then dip it into the spiced sugar and set it into your bundt pan. Then do that 63 more times!
Pile the buttered and sugared dough balls into your pan, let it rise a little bit more, then bake it, and then dump it out- ooey gooey juices and all- onto your platter…
… where it will look like this. Goo and all. After a small amount of cooling time, if you dare to add the eggnog glaze on top, this is when that happens.
Oh la la. Be-still my heart. Would you look at that! Me oh my. I’m going to the gym. Wait, no I’m not. Dig in!
Just pull apart and nibble. It’s best while it’s still warm, but if you warm it up later it won’t taste so bad either. This one takes a little bit of heart and soul, but you know it’ll be worth it in the end, right? Happy, dreamy holiday breakfast!
