MONK BREAD RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with vegetable oil.
• Combine warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until bubbly and foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in 1 cup flour, warm milk, egg, 3 tablespoons sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well before adding remaining 2 1/2 cups flour. Mix and knead until dough comes together in a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and punch down gently to deflate. Divide dough into small or medium balls.
• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Dip each dough ball in melted butter, remove with a fork, and roll in sugar mixture until well coated. Arrange in the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Invert onto a large plate; cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 8 x 4 loaf pan with baking spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk. Set aside.
• In a large bowl cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add egg whites, bananas, apple sauce and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until thick. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
• Add flour mixture and blend at low speed until combined, do not over mix.
• Fold in the blueberries and pour batter into the prepared loaf pans; bake in the center rack for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let the pan cool at least 20 minutes, bread should be room temperature before slicing.
