Best 4 Chai Glazed Pumpkin Monkey Bread Recipes

CHAI-SPICED PUMPKIN LOAF

Steps:

• For the loaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with a piece of parchment paper, allowing the sides to hang over the edges of the pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, cardamom, ginger, salt, cloves and nutmeg in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Whisk together the pumpkin, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir until completely incorporated.
• Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs sticking to it and the cake springs back when gently pressed, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for 30 minutes before unmolding and cooling completely on a wire rack.
• For the glaze: In the meantime, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, chai tea, cream and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top of the cooled loaf and let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

CHAI-SPICED MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Pulse yeast, salt, 3 1/3 cups flour, and 1/2 cup sugar in a food processor until combined. With the motor running, add 1 1/4 cups 100°F-110°F water and process until a ball forms, about 30 seconds.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; it should look slightly shaggy and stick to the counter (if dough is too dry, add more warm water by the teaspoonful until tacky). Knead until dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
• Lightly coat a large bowl with nonstick spray. Form dough into a ball and transfer to bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then lay a kitchen towel over. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Mix cinnamon, ginger, pepper, cardamom, cloves, and remaining 1 cup sugar in a large bowl.
• Toast pecans and pumpkin seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 9-11 minutes.
• Punch down dough and transfer to a floured work surface. Roll into 1" balls (you should have about 25). Working in batches, toss in spiced-sugar mixture until coated.
• Arrange one-third of dough in pan. Top with one-third of pecan mixture, then sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. spiced sugar. Repeat with remaining dough, nuts, and spiced sugar; discard remaining spiced sugar. Pour caramel sauce over. Cover pan with plastic wrap, then lay a kitchen towel over. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until almost doubled in volume, 40-45 minutes.
• Cover pan with foil and bake bread 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until top is glistening and well browned and bread is cooked through, about 20 minutes more. Invert immediately onto a platter. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Monkey bread can be assembled 12 hours ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and chill. Let come to room temperature, about 2 hours, watching for second rise (rolls should almost double in volume), then bake.

• Arrange coated biscuits evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar throughout and on top of biscuits; pour melted butter all over.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottom only of 8x4- or 9x5-inch loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat granulated sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. On low speed, beat in tea, 1/3 cup milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla and the eggs until ingredients are well combined (will appear curdled). Stir in remaining bread ingredients just until moistened. Spread in pan.
• Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (do not underbake). Cool in pan on cooling rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool 30 minutes.
• In small bowl, stir powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 3 teaspoons of the milk, adding more milk by teaspoonfuls, until spreadable. Spread glaze over bread. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.
