How To Make torrey's monkey bread

• 1

  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2

  Mix four and salt together and set aside.
• 3

  Mix warm water (like 105-110 degrees), yeast and sugar in bowl. Let rest for 15 min to allow yeast to “proof”.
• 4

  In large bowl, beat eggs and add proofed yeast mixture.
• 5

  Add flour/salt mixture, a little at a time, to liquid mixture. Stir until forms a soft bread dough.
• 6

  Cover bowl with damp cloth and let dough rise to double in warm area (I use the microwave oven to stash it--just don't turn it on.) It takes roughly an hour (sometimes more, sometimes less).
• 7

  Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Each portion makes one "loaf". Trust me, you'll want to make both loaves.
• 8

  Roll out one portion, on floured surface, to 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick.
• 9

  Cut as many circles ("biscuits") as you can with biscuit cutter or round glass. Gather the "leftover" cut-out dough and GENTLY reform it and roll it out again. Continue re-cutting into "biscuits" until all dough in one portion is used up.
• 10

  Pour 1/2 to 1 stick of melted butter you set aside in bottom of Bundt pan. I like to use a whole stick, but then again...I LOVE BUTTER.
• 11

  Arrange “biscuits”, on end (like books in a bookcase), slightly overlapping each other all the around the bottom of Bundt pan. They won't stand up like books, they'll flop over...but you get the idea.
• 12

  Repeat steps 8-11 for second portion of dough.
• 13

  Cover pans with damp towels and let "biscuits" rise a second time until not-quite double (maybe 30 min or so).
• 14

  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 min. or until brown.
• 15

  Invert onto plate to serve.
