Pull-apart Monkey Rolls (especially for the bread machine)
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons water
1 large egg
1 tablespoon butter
(or margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups bread flour
4 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground
cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
or margarine, melted
Add the first 8 ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
Select the dough-manual cycle. When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface.
If necessary, knead in enough flour to make dough easy to handle, one tablespoon at a time, using no more than 4 tablespoons of flour.
Divide dough into 20 equal pieces. Form each piece into a smooth ball. Stir together the 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon.
Dip each ball into the 2 tablespoons melted butter; roll each ball in sugar mixture. Arrange half of the coated balls in the bottom of a greased 6 1/2 to 8 cup ovenproof ring mold or fluted tube pan with nonremovable bottom.
A Bundt pan will work. Make a second layer, positioning the balls for the second layer between the balls in the first layer. Drizzle balls with any remaining melted butte and sprinkle with any remaining sugar mixture.
Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.
Cool 1 minute on a wire rack. Invert onto a serving plate; remove ring mold or pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
