Biscoff Monkey Bread
March 6, 2012 | Print | E-mail | Filed under biscoff, bread
Ever since we got back from San Diego, I’ve been obsessed with baking, even more so than usual…I think being without an oven for three weeks made me appreciate mine all the more! This past weekend I was really craving monkey bread, so of course I also took it as an opportunity to have some fun and change up my recipe again. The result is this sweet bread made with Biscoff spread, a brown sugar and cinnamon lover’s heaven (I just loved the smell of the dough while it was rising)! I used my stand mixer to make it this time around, since I think it’s easier on the hands to let the stand mixer knead the spread into the dough. However, my pumpkin monkey bread post has directions on how to make the dough solely by hand, if you don’t have a stand mixer or would simply prefer not to use one. Hope you enjoy it, and have a happy Tuesday!
For the dough:
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp warm water
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1/2 cup Biscoff spread
For the coating:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 stick butter, melted
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2-3 tsp milk
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and cinnamon.
In another, smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, water, melted butter, sugar, and yeast. Pour the flour mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Set the machine on low and gradually add the milk mixture. Once the dough comes together, add in the Biscoff spread. Increase the speed to medium and let mix 5-6 minutes or until smooth and tacky. Spray a clean bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside.
Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about an hour.
In the meantime, mix together the cinnamon and sugar, and melt the butter for the coating. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray. Once the dough has risen, cut the dough into roughly equal-sized pieces and roll each piece into a ball (I had about 40 pieces, but you may have more or less).
Dip each ball of dough into the melted butter and then the cinnamon-sugar mixture, layering them in the bundt pan as you go.
Once you’ve used all of the dough, cover the bundt pan and let the dough rise again for another hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the bread until golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before turning out on to a platter.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and cinnamon. Gradually stire in the milk. Pour over the bread while it’s still warm.

OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!
I am speechless!! (And making a grocery list!)

That’s all I needed!! One more reason to buy another jar of Biscoff! These look fantastic. I love that the Biscoff is right in the dough. I bet it would be yummy as part of the glaze as well!

How fantastic, but now I have to go to work and think about this all day. I’ve saved this for the weekend!

I can picture what it tastes like and I am drooling right now! YUMMMMMM

This looks so good. I’ve not had Biscoff yet, but it seems to be the next “big thing”!

I really should try Biscoff. If you’re endorsing the stuff (being a fellow Nutella lover) then I know it’s got to be good.

My reaction to this post is as follows: “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I can’t even handle this right now.

Whoa. I just told my sister about this as I was reading and she said, “you know, sometimes I’m glad Biscoff is only available at our “gucci b” – that’s what we call the HEB Central Market, which is a lot like Whole Foods. We don’t go there often, and it’s the only place to get Biscoff Spread in town. Girl, you are dangerous!

this looks crazy good! i love biscoff.

What a fun twist on monkey bread.

I wonder if I could convince my parents to buy me a real mixer if I sent them this post with the caption “So I can make THIS for you!” (Hopefully they won’t notice the how-to-do-it-with-your-hands part)
March 6th, 2012 at 4:17 pm
Oh my! This is awesome! Maybe I should splurge to get a new cute bunt pan just to make this ha.
March 6th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
This is absolutely brilliant. Love it!

Just recently gave in and bought Biscoff. My life will never be the same!

I love Biscoff (Hey, I live in Belgium, where it’s from – they call it speculoos). I’ve tried it in fudge, cookies, ice cream, mixed with nutella, peanutbutter, and white chocolate… But to mix it with monkey bread, genius!
March 6th, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Now you’ve done it…I won’t be able to get this out of my mind! So good!

This looks absolutely heavenly, but I cannot find Biscoff spread anywhere! And the sad part is, I keep seeing so many Biscoff recipes floating around, and I know that I can’t make them (well I could, but by substituting peanut butter or something, but it just wouldn’t be the same).
March 7th, 2012 at 10:14 am
WOOOOOOOOW, That looks amazing!!
March 7th, 2012 at 10:41 am
I have become slightly obsessed with Biscoff
March 7th, 2012 at 11:19 am
you have GOT to be KIDDING me!!!!!!!!!!! OH man – Diet OUT the window. I LOVE monkey bread – it reminds me of Sundays as a kid. And Biscoff – drool. Thanks for this recipe!
March 7th, 2012 at 11:56 am
Oh my this sounds amazing!!!! Love that spread too, so addicting!
How crazy is this warmth today!? By the time we meet up for lunch you wont be able to wear your cowl
March 7th, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Yum! Gotta make this!
March 7th, 2012 at 1:02 pm
I have never heard of biscoff…what is it?
March 7th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
I FINALLY just found Biscoff spread in my grocery store the other day! This looks so delicious!
March 7th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
I need to get my hands on this biscoff spread!
March 7th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
This looks so good…my grocery store carried Biscoff forever and I never knew what it was. Now they’ve discontinued it and I find all these great recipes. Figures!!
March 8th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
Tracy, you have outdone yourself! I can hardly wait to find an occasion and enough people to make this for!
March 12th, 2012 at 5:37 pm
I love Biscoff almost as much as I love Monkey Bread! This takes me back to 7th grade home ec! Love it.
March 13th, 2012 at 8:25 am
Oh wow. I can’t even imagine how good this is!
March 15th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
If I hadn’t already given up Biscoff spread for Lent I would be making this bundt right now! Seriously, it looks so good! Once Easter is over I will definitely be making it! Yum!
