ALMOND CREAM MONKEY BREAD
The recipe you didn’t know you needed until now
Gentlemen, gather round because today we’re embarking on an epic culinary conquest—the Almond Cream Monkey Bread! This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill breakfast fare; this is the decadent assault on your taste buds that you didn’t know was possible.
First off, pave the way with the fortress of all flavors—the **Dough**. We’re talking 2 1/4 cups of unadulterated power in the form of all-purpose flour. Mix that with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and a whisper of baking soda. Add a pinch of salt to keep it real, and 1 3/4 cups of Greek yogurt for that Olympian strength! Dive deeper with half a cup of melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. I assure you, it looks sticky—but domination demands perseverance!
Spread out that powerhouse dough, divide it into rough yet mighty 20-25 pieces. Precision is for the weak! Roll them victoriously into balls, their imperfect perfection reflecting the champion’s journey—place on your baking sheet with anticipation.
But this isn’t child’s play. Enter the **Almond Cream Filling**. Think 5 tablespoons of softened butter caressed by the richness of almond flour. One egg to bind it together in triumph, sugar for that extra kick, almond and vanilla extracts—the olfactory warriors your senses have been craving! Salt, the subtle seasoning strategist, rounds up this battalion. Remember, champions don’t hold back!
Assemble your troops—rolling those dough balls in melted butter and cinnamon sugar. Layer them onto the battlefield (your pan), and generously bomb them with almond cream. Everyone loves a twist—so let those sliced almonds rain victory from above.
While it all bakes to golden glory (40-45 mins of meticulous patience, my friends), turn your attention to the decadent glory of **Salted Caramel**. Melt together coconut oil and almond butter—bonded like the fiercest allies—sweetened by maple syrup, and a noble pinch of salt, balancing the universe of flavors.
Now, as it emerges from the fiery oven, drizzle the caramel luxuriously over the monkey bread—a testament to owning the world through gustatory delight.
This isn’t just a recipe; it’s a declaration—a manifesto for those who refuse average. Your taste buds are mere steps away from the undeniable triumph of Almond Cream Monkey Bread.
Live boldly. Eat boldly.
