Buttery Dill Monkey Bread

February 6, 2012 by Jaida 11 Comments

We took a little break in January to re-group and update some things, but for February, the Secret Recipe Club is back in action!! I received the blog Sweet As Sugar Cookies, and my goodness does Lisa have some delicious goodies to share! We share a love for cooking and baking, and for continually trying out new recipes! It took me awhile to narrow down the options since there were so many great recipes to choose from, but I finally decided to make this Buttery Dill Monkey Bread. The sweet treats were so tempting, but I figured I better steer clear for a little while longer 😉 I’ve always wanted to try monkey bread, and adding butter and delectable dill just made it all the more appealing!

I baked mine in little ramekins, and they were almost too cute to eat! Next time I’ll try it in a loaf pan, because I know those will be super cute too. I love the buttery flavor accented by delicious dill. Mmm mmm good!

As always, if you are interested in SRC, visit the link above for rules and a participation application. It has become increasingly popular over the last year, so at the moment there is a waiting list, but it’s worth the wait!!

Buttery Dill Monkey Bread
Source: Sweet As Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

·     2 Tbsp warm water
·     1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
·     1 tsp sugar
·     2 1/4 cups bread flour
·     1/4 tsp salt
·     1/2 c. milk, lukewarm
·     1 egg
·     1 Tbsp butter, melted
·     1 Tbsp dried dill
Dill Butter
·     4 Tbsp melted butter, divided
·     1 Tbsp dried dill

Preparation
1.    Combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar and let sit for 10 minutes, until foamy.
2.    Mix the milk, egg, butter, and dill into the yeast mixture. Add the salt and the flour gradually until the dough no longer sticks to the bottom of the bowl. Knead lightly by hand and place the ball of dough in a lightly-oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30-60 minutes.
3.    Meanwhile, make the dill butter by combining 2 tablespoons of melted butter with 1 tablespoon of dill.
4.    Once the dough is ready, punch it down and shape into 1-inch balls. Dip each ball into the dill butter and place in small greased ramekins or mini loaf pans (I used two mini loaf pans). The dough will rise more, so don’t cram too much dough into too small of a space.
5.    Cover the loaves with plastic wrap and allow to rise for another 20-25 minutes.
6.    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Right before baking, brush some of the remaining dill butter over the dough. Bake for 15-20 minutes, brushing again with the butter twice throughout the baking process. Enjoy warm from the oven.

    can somebody for the love of god tell me what the heck “monkey” bread is??? i've seen it on a couple different blogs recently and it looks delicious – but i don't know what makes it different than just plain old bread… not that there's anything wrong with plain old bread. I love plain old bread. I want to love monkey bread 🙂

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
