Best Recipe for Caramel and Cashew Pull-Apart Bread with Coffee Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 1/4 cups muscovado sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup roughly chopped cashews, toasted
  • 2 pounds Dinner Roll Dough, recipe follows, cut into about 40 pieces
  • Coffee ice cream, for serving
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • Two 1/4-ounce packages rapid-rise yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Watch how to make this recipe.
  2. Special equipment: a 12-cup Bundt pan
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray.
  4. Stir to combine the muscovado sugar and butter, then set aside. In a large bowl whisk to combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Coat 10 to 12 pieces of the dough in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place the pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of the cashews. Drizzle with one-quarter of the butter mixture. Repeat the layering process two more times, and finish with a layer of the coated dough drizzled with the butter. Bake for 45 minutes.
  5. Cool the bread slightly, about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a plate or platter. Serve with coffee ice cream.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, sugar, salt and yeast. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and butter just until the butter melts. Stir the liquid into the flour mixture. Stir in the egg and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough onto a work surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic, 5 to 8 minutes. Grease a large bowl with butter. Transfer the butter to the prepared bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
