- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup warm milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
Glaze Ingredients:
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat a bundt pan with non-stick spray.
- Create a fragrant spice blend by combining granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Carefully slice refrigerated biscuit dough into quartered sections, ensuring uniform bite-sized pieces.
- Gently tumble dough quarters through the prepared spice mixture, coating each piece completely.
- Arrange the spiced dough pieces in overlapping layers within the prepared bundt pan, creating an intriguing textural pattern.
- Whisk together melted butter, creamy pumpkin puree, rich brown sugar, and pure maple syrup until the mixture transforms into a silky, unified sauce.
- Methodically drizzle the pumpkin-maple mixture over the layered dough, ensuring even distribution throughout the pan.
- Transfer the bundt pan to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a deep golden-brown surface and consistent internal cooking.
- Allow the monkey bread to rest for 10 minutes after removing from the oven, which helps stabilize its structure.
- Carefully invert the bread onto a decorative serving plate, revealing its intricate, pull-apart design.
- Optional: Enhance the presentation by drizzling additional maple syrup and scattering toasted pecan fragments across the surface.
Notes
- Ensure biscuit dough is cold when cutting to maintain clean, even quarters for consistent coating and baking.
- Use fresh pumpkin pie spice for maximum flavor intensity and aromatic warmth in the monkey bread.
- Rotate the bundt pan halfway through baking to guarantee even browning and prevent potential uneven cooking spots.
- When inverting, place a large plate over the bundt pan and flip quickly to prevent sticky caramelized sections from sticking to the pan.
