Description

Mini Garlic Monkey Breads are fluffy, pillowy dough balls coated with a rich garlic butter mix, layered with melted plant-based cheese and crispy smoked turkey bacon, then baked to golden perfection. These bite-sized savory breads offer a perfect balance of garlicky richness, smoky savoriness, and gooey creaminess, making them an effortless crowd-pleaser ideal for parties, snacks, or cozy family nights.

Ingredients

Bread Dough

  • Fluffy bread dough, enough for 24 small balls

Garlic Butter Mix (natural)

  • Garlic butter mix (natural), approximately 1/2 cup for coating and brushing

Cheese and Bacon

  • Shredded plant-based cheese, about 1 cup
  • Smoked turkey bacon, cooked and chopped, 12 slices

Seasonings

  • Granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon
  • Onion powder, 1 teaspoon
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), 1 tablespoon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Additional Ingredients

  • Apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon
  • Natural gelling agent, 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough Balls: Roll the fluffy bread dough into small, uniform balls roughly the size of a walnut. Lightly coat each ball with the garlic butter mix (natural) to infuse flavor from the very first bite.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Grease a muffin pan well. Layer the dough balls in each muffin cup, alternating with bits of smoked turkey bacon and shredded plant-based cheese to ensure every bite combines all flavors and textures harmoniously.
  3. Add Seasoning and Bake: Sprinkle granulated garlic, onion powder, and a touch of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) over the layered dough balls. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly, allowing flavors to meld and cheese to melt perfectly.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and brush the tops with more garlic butter mix (natural). Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for color and freshness. Serve warm, encouraging everyone to pull apart their own flavorful mini breads.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dough for easier shaping and fluffier texture after baking.
  • Brush each dough ball lightly and evenly with garlic butter (natural) before assembling to maximize flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the muffin pan to allow dough balls to rise and bake evenly.
  • Choose a plant-based cheese that melts well to achieve perfect gooey texture.
  • Check on the baking 5 minutes early to avoid overbaking; breads should be golden but moist.
