Bread Machine Monkey Bread

1 . Stage

Remove the baking pan from the machine. Place yeast, flour, cinnamon, salt, white sugar, 2 tablespoons margarine, and water in the order recommended for the bread machine. Make sure that no liquid comes in contact with yeast. Select dough cycle and press start.

2 . Stage

Transfer dough to a floured surface; knead 10 to 12 times. Set aside to rest.

3 . Stage

Melt 1 cup margarine in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in brown sugar and raisins until smooth. Remove from heat.

4 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a Bundt or tube pan.

5 . Stage

Cut dough into 1-inch chunks. Drop a chunk at a time into brown sugar mixture to thoroughly coat. Layer dough pieces loosely in the prepared pan, staggering layers, so you're plopping each dough chunk over a space between two below. Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until dough is just over the top of the pan, 15 to 20 minutes.

6 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

7 . Stage

Remove from the oven and cover the pan with a plate. Holding the plate and the pan with oven mitts, flip over both until bread slides out onto the plate. Serve warm. 5boys2cook4
