The dough should be sticky, but if you find that it’s too wet and not coming together in the mixer, add 2 Tbs more flour and mix until the dough forms a cohesive mass. Be sure to use light brown sugar for the coating mix; dark brown sugar has a stronger molasses flavor that can be overwhelming. After baking, don’t let the bread cool in the pan for more than 5 minutes or it will stick to the pan and come out in pieces. Monkey bread is at its best served warm.
