Instructions
Add the flour, yeast, salt and sugar to the bowl of your mixer. Make sure the salt and yeast aren't together
Make a well in the middle and add the olive oil and the water. Using the dough hook attachment, mix on the lowest speed for 2 minutes
Scrape down the dough off the hook if needed and mix on a medium speed for 8 minutes. You may need to stop to scrape the hook off again
Take the dough out of the bowl and knead once or twice on a floured surface until the dough is smooth and soft
Put the dough in a bowl sprayed with oil and cover with oiled cling film. Leave to prove for 1-2 hours until it has doubled in size
Knock the air out of the dough by hitting it down in the bowl. Tip it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a couple of times
Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly
In a shallow dish, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Spray a 2lb loaf tin with oil
Divide the dough roughly 15g balls by cutting off sections of dough and rolling them into balls
Roll each dough ball in the melted butter before rolling it in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Make sure each ball is completely covered before lining them snugly in the loaf tin
Repeat until you have used all of the dough. Cover with oiled cling film and leave to prove for 30 minutes

Delicious! My family love cinnamon bread and this was super easy. I’d recommend lining the bottom of the loaf tin as a couple of mine were stubborn and didn’t want to leave the tin!

I made this today and its heavenly!!! Really easy to follow recipe and absolutely delicious...I will be making this for Christmas day breakfast! Thanks!
What a great recipe!
Really easy to make, and not tome consuming at all. I definitely need to work on my placement skills when stacking the dough balls, but for a first try this came out really well.
Couldn't quite wait for it to cool down before eating it! Whole family loved it, and I already have people asking for the recipe.
I've always wanted to try monkey bread, this looks so tasty!
I've seen a few recipes for monkey bread but never made it. Your recipe looks really straightforward (and tasty) so I feel inspired to give it a go!
I love monkey bread, in fact I like any bread flavoured with cinnamon. What a great recipe I will have to give this a try.
I love the fact that your recipe is a little bit healthier than the original. I've never actually tried monkey bread but I've seen lots of pictures online and it always looks so tempting!
