π΅ DIY: VEGAN CRAZY CARAMEL MONKEY BREAD! π *Ingredients* For the dough: π§‘1/4 cup warm water π§‘2 1/4 teaspoons dry active yeast (1 packet) π§‘1/4 cup granulated sugar ... we used brown sugar sugar ;-) π§‘1 cup soy milk π§‘2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted (I use earth balance) π§‘3 1/2 cups all purpose flour (we used Bob's Red Mill Oat Flour) π§‘1 1/2 teaspoons salt For the Vegan Caramel: π§‘1/2 cup vegan butter π§‘1/2 cup full fat coconut milk (the thick white part) π§‘1 1/2 cups brown sugar pinch of salt, optional Instructions: π§‘Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, add the warm water and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes, it should get a bit foamy on top. Now add the rest of the dough ingredients, and mix. Knead a little with your hands to combine. It should be sticky. Cover with a towel and set aside to rise for about 2 hours, then stick it in the fridge to cool. π§‘Make the caramel: Melt the vegan butter in a small pan over medium heat. Now add the coconut milk and brown sugar, and stir. Bring to a boil and stir constantly for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add a sprinkle of salt, if desired. π§‘Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a bundt or pie pan. π§‘Assemble: Punch the cold dough gently to release the air bubbles. Pull apart and shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. In prepared pan, layer 1/4 cup caramel, dough balls, 1/4 cup caramel, dough balls and pour 1/4 more cup caramel on top. Reserve the remaining caramel. π§‘Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top pieces are starting to get golden. Cool for 5-10 minutes, and then invert carefully onto a serving plate. Drizzle extra caramel on top, if desired, and serve. Enjoy!
