Monkey dunkey bread from The Baking Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum

  • bread flour
  • instant yeast
    Instant yeast appears similar to active dry yeast, but has smaller granules with substantially higher percentages of live cells per comparable unit volumes. It is more perishable than active dry yeast, but also does not require rehydration, and can usually be added directly to all but the driest doughs. Instant yeast generally has a small amount of ascorbic acid added as a preservative. (Wikipedia) Buy Now

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I love Rose's brioche dough. It is the best brioche dough I've ever made. She tells you every.single.detail. so there's no way you can mess it up. The monkey bread is a gilded version of her bread, it's filled with chocolate, then coated with a delicious brown sugar glaze, and finally topped with caramel. Even with all the adornments, the final product is not overly sweet. It is oh-so-fluffy and delicious. I omitted the final drizzle of caramel. Photo included.

    I love Rose but she has completely idiot-proofed this recipe. If you're an experienced baker, it's ok to use your instinct, I did, and I came out with a darn tasty bread. You can probably skip 20% of the steps here. They are unnecessary and time-consuming.
