CHEESY GARLIC-POTATO MONKEY BREAD



Cheesy Garlic-Potato Monkey Bread image

This savory monkey bread begins with a yeasted dough made with mashed potatoes, which helps make it the extra light and fluffy. Each round of dough is coated in garlic butter, cheese (Parmesan and white cheddar), and a generous dose of coarse black pepper. Think of it as cacio e pepe monkey bread. It's best served warm. The dough rises overnight in the refrigerator, which makes this recipe especially great when you're looking to plan ahead.

Time 10h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 1/2 cups/576 grams all-purpose flour, plus additional for coating
1/2 cup/60 grams finely grated Parmesan
1/4 cup/55 grams light brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter (3/4 stick), at room temperature, plus more for greasing
3/4 cup/163 grams leftover mashed potatoes or 1 small russet potato, peeled, chopped and boiled
3/4 cup/180 milliliters warm water (about 95 degrees)
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
Cooking spray, for greasing
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick)
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup/120 grams finely grated Parmesan
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/128 grams shredded white cheddar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the dough the day before you want to make the monkey bread: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the flour, Parmesan, sugar, garlic powder, yeast and salt on low speed to combine, 15 to 20 seconds.
  • Add the butter, mashed potato, water, egg and egg yolk. Mix on low speed for 4 minutes, then on medium speed until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour, then punch the dough down and refrigerate overnight.
  • When you're ready to make the bread, let the dough sit at room temperature for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Generously coat a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan with cooking spray.
  • Divide the dough into 24 even pieces (about 2-tablespoon-sized balls at 48 grams each). Round each piece into a ball using your hands. If the dough is too sticky to handle, use a little flour. (Try to use as little flour as possible, as it can make the dough tough.) Cover the dough with plastic wrap on your work surface, and let rest for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  • Prepare the topping: In a small pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the Parmesan, white cheddar and pepper to combine. Working with one piece of dough at a time, dip the dough into the garlic butter, then roll it in the cheese mixture to coat.
  • Transfer each ball to the prepared pan, arranging in even layers. Do not tightly pack. Drizzle the rolls with the leftover garlic butter and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until increased in volume, 35 to 45 minutes. (The dough won't fully double in size, but it will look puffy and risen.)
  • Toward the end of rise time, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake until the surface is golden-brown, 35 to 40 minutes. (It should have an internal temperature of 200 degrees. Be sure to take the temperature in the center portion of the dough.)
  • Let cool 10 to 15 minutes before unmolding. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHEESY GARLIC MONKEY BREAD



Cheesy Garlic Monkey Bread image

Think of this pull-apart creation as cheesy garlic bread brought to the next level. Starting with prepared biscuit dough cuts your hand-on time down to 10 minutes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Two 16-ounce tubes refrigerated biscuit dough
2 cups grated Parmesan
1 sprig rosemary, leaves finely minced

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the butter and garlic in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter is melted. Set aside to cool slightly. Brush the Bundt pan with some of the butter to lightly coat.
  • Meanwhile, cut the biscuits into quarters. Combine the Parmesan and rosemary in a large bowl and stir together.
  • Working in batches, toss the biscuits in the melted garlic butter, roll them in the Parmesan mixture to lightly coat and add them to the Bundt pan. Sprinkle the top with any leftover Parmesan mixture and drizzle with any leftover butter.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until puffed and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Loosen the bread from the sides of the pan with a knife or offset spatula. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate, remove the pan and serve hot.

QUICK HERB AND CHEESE MONKEY BREAD



Quick Herb and Cheese Monkey Bread image

Prepared biscuit dough is the base for this pull-apart loaf, which is formed by rolling the dough in olive oil and herbs before piling in a bundt pan, which helps turn the loaf crispy and golden brown. Our tasters called them the Southern version of pizza-shop garlic knots.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Cooking spray
1 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 packages prepared biscuits (about 16 biscuits), each biscuit cut in half
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt or tube pan lightly with cooking spray.
  • Toss the Parmesan, oregano, garlic, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl until well mixed. Roll each biscuit half into a ball. Put 8 of the balls in a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, tossing until well coated. Transfer each ball to the Parmesan mixture to coat, then place in the prepared pan. Working in batches of 8, repeat with the remaining dough balls, overlapping in the pan as necessary.
  • Bake until the dough is puffed and browned, about 50 minutes; check halfway through the baking time and tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly.
  • Let the bread cool 10 minutes. Loosen the bread from the sides of the pan with a thin spatula. Invert the pan onto a baking sheet, then flip the bread (decorative-side up) onto a serving plate.

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality bread: The type of bread you use will affect the overall flavor and texture of your monkey bread. Look for a bread that is soft and slightly sweet, such as a brioche or challah bread.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic will give your monkey bread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, you can use garlic powder, but be sure to use less, as it can be more potent.
  • Don't overcook the monkey bread: The monkey bread should be cooked until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown. Overcooking will make the bread dry and tough.
  • Serve the monkey bread warm: Monkey bread is best served warm, so make sure to eat it right out of the oven. You can also reheat it in the oven or microwave if you have leftovers.

Conclusion:

Garlic cheese monkey bread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. With its soft and fluffy bread, melted cheese, and garlicky flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive recipe, give garlic cheese monkey bread a try.
