Description
Homemade Gluten Free Monkey Bread is like the best parts of a gooey cinnamon roll in bread form! Dairy free and vegan adaptable!
Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 200 grams (1 1/2 cups) white rice flour
- 130 grams (1 cup) gluten free sorghum flour
- 90 grams (1 cup) gluten-free oat flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 grams (1 teaspoon) sea salt
- 5 grams (1 1/2 teaspoons) instant yeast
Wet ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups milk, warmed to 105-110 degrees
- 30 grams (1/2 cup) whole psyllium husks
Coating:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Caramel:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease a bundt pan with nonstick spray and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a 4 cup liquid measuring cup, microwave the milk in 30 second intervals until it is between 105 and 110 degrees. Whisk in the psyllium husks and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
- Add the wet to the dry and mix with the paddle attachment until combined. Transfer to an oiled bowl and let rise in a warm place (I usually place it on the counter by the preheating oven) for 1 hour.
- For the topping, whisk together the cinnamon and sugar and melt the butter.
- Pinch off 1-inch size balls of dough and roll them into a round ball. Dunk the ball into the butter and then roll in the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with the remaining dough. Let the monkey bread rise for another 30 minutes.
- For the caramel, whisk together the butter and brown sugar. Pour it evenly over the monkey bread. Bake for 50-55 minutes until the caramel us bubbling and the top is golden brown.
- Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then invert onto a plate. Enjoy!
Notes
Vegan butter, like Miyoko's or Earth Balance can be used for the butter.
Soy milk, almond milk, etc. can be used for the milk.
Coconut sugar or organic cane sugar can be used for the granulated and brown sugars.
Choose a nonstick bunt pan (here's the one I use) and prep it by generously spraying it with nonstick oil. This will ensure the gluten free monkey bread doesn't stick to the pan.
Measure the flours by weight! If possible, using a small scale to weigh your ingredients will create the best monkey bread. If you don't have a scale, make sure to fluff up the flours with a fork before measuring, then spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a butter knife.
