Skillet Pumpkin Monkey Bread

This skillet pumpkin monkey bread is a real treat. The whole family went a little crazy over this bread. It sure doesn’t last very long.

I couldn’t resist sharing one more pumpkin recipe before Thanksgiving. I can’t believe it will be here in a couple of days. I know that my family would love waking up to this pumpkin monkey bread Thanksgiving morning or maybe Christmas morning.

 

Skillet Pumpkin Monkey Bread

I have fallen in love with making bread in my cast iron skillet. The bread always turns out soft and delicious.  This is my favorite baking dish for yeast breads that I make into buns.

What is monkey bread?

Monkey bread is a sweet dough that is rolled in butter than usually rolled in cinnamon and sugar. It is placed in a cake pan and baked. It is served for breakfast or even dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 7 tablespoons butter divided
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves

Instructions

  • Heat the milk and 3 tablespoons of butter until warm (110 to 120 degrees F). 
  • In a large bowl combine the yeast, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Add the heated milk and melted butter mixture and mix in with a wooden spoon
  • Mix in the pumpkin puree. Gradually knead in enough of the flour to make a soft dough. Continue to knead the bread until the dough is smooth and elastic. 
  • Grease the bottom of the bowl and turn the dough to grease both sides. Cover and place in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough is double in size.
  • Prepare the cinnamon mixture. Combine the remaining 1 cup of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Set aside. 
  • Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. 
  • Grease a 10" cast iron skillet
  • Once the bread is doubled in size divide the dough and roll it into 22 balls. 
  • Dip/roll each ball in the melted butter and then the sugar mixture. Place the balls in the prepared skillet. If any of the sugar mixture is left you can sprinkle it over the balls. Let the balls rest for 1/2 hour.
  • Place the skillet in a preheated oven that has been preheated to 375 degrees F. 
  • Bake for 25 to 27 minutes. Remove from the oven cool slightly before serving.

    Making cinnamon rolls on Thanksgiving and Christmas mornings has been a family tradition ever since I was a kid. I might have to mix it up and make this pumpkin monkey bread version this year. These look delicious, Dawn!

    Monkey bread always looks (and tastes!) so great, doesn’t it? Never had a pumpkin one, though — terrific idea. Thanks!
