BBQ monkey bread

One of my better desserts this year! Soft pieces of dough like a cinnamon sandwich with a warm caramel sauce and a cream cheese glaze. This is really fantastic as closing of a beautiful BBQ night.

The cook, step by step.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add the lukewarm milk, egg and melted butter. Knead 8 to 10 minutes to a smooth dough. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour, until the dough is about doubled. Does the dough still feel a little sticky? Then use a little more flour. It really needs to be a nice dough.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Divide the dough into about 15-25 small pieces and roll balls of it. Mix the crystal sugar with the cinnamon. Run every ball through the cinnamon sugar.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Melt the butter in a pan on medium heat. Add the soft sugar, whipping cream, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Heat already stirring until everything is nicely liquid and poachy. And stir really well, this quickly sticks to the bottom of the pan so pay attention.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Grease a cast iron skillet well. Divide about half the doughballs over the bottom. Pour about half the caramel sauce over it. Add the rest of the balls and pour the remaining caramel sauce evenly over it.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Light the barbecue and prepare for indirect heat at 180 degrees Celsius.

    BBQ temperature: 180°C
  6. 6

    Step 6

    Place the skillet above the indirect area and bake Monkey Bread for 35 to 45 minutes. The top should be beautiful golden brown and the dough must be fully cooked.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk to a smooth, thick glaze. After this I put it in a sauce bottle (see link to equipment), so I could easily dose over the skillet.

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Leave the Monkey Bread for about 5 to 10 minutes after baking. Drizzle then the cream cheese glaze generously over the warm Monkey Bread. Enjoy it!
