Heavenly Herb Monkey Bread Recipes
BUTTERY PULL-APART HERB MONKEY BREAD
A good baked bread is baker's pride. I don't know if someone said so, or I just became famous ;) Either ways, I am sharing with you a delectable, homemade, fragrant, moist, herbaceous, and crusty monkey bread. Slathered in butter and fresh herbs, this bread is perfect to bring some festivity on holiday dinner table!Monkey Bread or Festive Herb Wreath Bread?I am not sure.... if I should call this a monkey bread.... or Festive Herb Wreath Bread! confused...!.!.! It looks so gorgeous, seems unfair to call this a Monkey Bread. When I did some bing-ing to find the answer, turns out monkey breads are almost unknown to people outside America, and it is called so since it resembles the fruit of a Monkey Puzzle Tree. Original Monkey bread (introduced in 1950s) was sweet, made with small pieces of bread dough covered in cinnamon and sugar, then thrown in bundt pan and baked. But... these days everyone is making their own version of savory monkey breads and so did I.I, however, was not so rough in arranging dough into the bundt pan, was very precise instead, probably because it is my first monkey bread ;) See... that's why it came out looking so pretty... almost like a festive wreath! I am sure, I'll get to make mesh-mashed and original monkey breads in next few baking rounds..... ;)It is pouring outside right now and I am sharing this recipe with you. I made this bread, last weekend, to accompany a creamy tomato soup. I wish.... I had some hot soup and bread leftover to enjoy this rainy weather.... It is FINALLY raining in drought-struck California, and amazingly there was a warning of rain storm today! We have not seen much rain here in past 2-3 years, and all of sudden this rain is like overwhelming for some... specially in areas affected by fire in summer, now those areas are in danger of mudslides... problem when it rains... problem when does not.... Nature and humans, we will keep complementing each other till eternity!Back to my herb monkey bread!What if I don't haveBundt Pan?If you don't have bundt pan, you can make this bread in a round cake pan with a small oven-safe bowl in the middle. I learned this trick a little after buying bundt pan or I would have never bought it...Fresh Herbs?I have made this bread before, as simple dinner rolls with Italian Seasoning. When I need all sorts of herbs and can't find any fresh, I reach for my pantry staple, Italian Seasoning (unsalted)! Thing to remember is, dried herbs are more potent than fresh-ones. So always add less if using dried herbs vs fresh. e.g. for this recipe I have used, 1/4 cup mix of fresh thyme, rosemary, oregano, and sage. If using dried, add 1/2 tbsp of seasoning to dough and use 1 tbsp for covering dough with butter-herb mix or adjust per taste but you will never need 1/4 cup dried herbs for this one bread.No Butter, No Problem!Bread dough uses NO butter at all, just 2 tablespoons of olive oil. I only used butter to get buttery, crusty exterior. If you want to totally avoid butter, dip dough in oil and herb mixture instead of melted butter.Family-style pull apart breadThis bread is essentially a family-style pull apart bread. Just take out of pan, cool a bit on wire-rack, then serve as-is for a rustic family-style dinner party. Here are few shots to share the texture of bread. The outer crust was very buttery, crusty, and inside was warm, moist and fluffy! I don't have scratch-and-sniff feature but fragrance was irresistible too... ;)So, don't wait, make this yummy bread for family over the weekend and if you need some easy soup to accompany, I am sharing the recipe next!Happy Weekend and Happy Holidays!

Steps:
- In a wide bowl, add 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp lukewarm water, dissolve 2 tbsp sugar and sprinkle yeast package on top and let it bloom for 10 minutes. If yeast does not bloom, discard and start afresh.
- While yeast is blooming, fine chop herbs, divide in half. Also lukewarm milk.
- In yeast, add lukewarm milk, salt, olive oil, half of the fresh chopped herbs, and 2.5 cups of flour.
- Mix the dough with a wide spatula, then add flour 1 tbsp at a time until dough comes together. Transfer dough to a work surface and knead for 6-8 minutes or using dough hook, knead the dough on high-speed for 4-5 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to an oil covered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and then cover with dry kitchen towel.
- First Rise - Let rise in warm place for 1.5 hrs or until it doubles in size.
- Punch down the dough and transfer to a work surface. Make two logs long logs.
- Divide the log into 20-25 equal size portions. Also, in a saucepan, melt the butter, add remaining herbs, mix and set aside.
- Shape each dough piece into a ball. You can also leave'em as is since it is a monkey bread, no need to be very precise, but if you want to, make all balls before dipping one into butter, or otherwise butter covered hands will make it impossible to roll the dough balls.
- Transfer all the butter-herb covered balls into bundt pan.
- Second Rise - Cover with dry kitchen towel and leave to rise in warm place for 1 hour or until pan is just full.
- Preheat oven at 375 F, then bake for 18-20 minutes or until top of bread is golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Carefully invert bread onto cooling wrack and let it cool slightly before serving.
