Herb Monkey Bread with Herbal Dip Recipe

How to make Herb Monkey Bread with Herbal Dip

Method

  1. Place the warm milk, sugar and yeast into the mixing bowl. Stir to combine and set aside for 5 minutes or until frothy.
  2. Stir the milk and yeast mixture, then add eggs, melted butter, flour, salt and garlic into the bowl. Using a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, mix on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes or until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl and forms a smooth ball.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Portion the dough into 20 pieces, each about 30g, then roll them into balls, incorporating some chopped herbs into each ball.
  4. Arrange the dough balls in a prepared tin. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes to an hour, until the dough rises to almost double in size.
  5. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Just before baking, brush the top of the dough balls with beaten egg.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes or until brown and golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool for 10-15 minutes. Gently remove the bread from the tin and place it onto a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  8. To make the herb dip, in a medium-sized bowl, combine sour cream, yogurt, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Tip: You can choose parsley, dill, rosemary or chives for this recipe.
