Here’s a delicious Gluten-Free Monkey Bread (Pull-Apart Sweet Bread) recipe that’s soft, gooey, buttery, and perfect for brunch or dessert! 🍞 Gluten-Free Monkey Bread Recipe ✅ Gluten-free | Egg-free optional | Sweet pull-apart treat Ingredients For the Dough: 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum) 1 tbsp sugar 2 tsp instant yeast ½ tsp salt ¾ cup warm milk (or dairy-free alternative) ¼ cup melted butter (or coconut oil) 1 egg (or 3 tbsp plain yogurt or applesauce for egg-free) For the Coating: ½ cup melted butter ¾ cup brown sugar 1 tbsp cinnamon Optional Glaze: ½ cup powdered sugar 1–2 tbsp milk or cream ¼ tsp vanilla extract Instructions 1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm milk, egg (or substitute), and melted butter. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.
