Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Blueberry Monkey Bread
  1. Prepare the Dough: If using premade dough, set it out to thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For homemade dough, mix your dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Knead gently for about 5 minutes, then cover it with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  2. Prepare Blueberries: Once your dough has risen, gently fold in fresh blueberries, ensuring you don’t crush them. If using frozen blueberries, ensure they are completely thawed and drained.
  3. Shape and Coat: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into small pieces and roll each into a ball. Prepare a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl and coat each ball thoroughly.
  4. Assemble in Pan: Grease a bundt pan generously. Layer the coated dough balls in the pan, stacking them randomly.
  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the monkey bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and serve warm.
