4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt.
Heat milk, water and 5 tablespoons butter until very warm (120°F-130°F). Stir into dry ingredients. Mix in eggs and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on ured surface until smooth, about 6 minutes. Cover let rest 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 32 pieces; roll into balls.
Melt remaining butter. Dip balls in butter.
Layer evenly on bottom of greased 10" tube pan with non-removable bottom; 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup nuts, 16 balls, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/2 nuts, 16 balls and 1/3 cup maple syrup.
Cover and let rise in warm place until it has doubled in size, about 30-40 minutes.
Bake in 375°F preheated oven for 35 minutes or until done. Cover with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Invert on serving plate.
Poster's Notes: Last weekend, I went to Burton for some maple syrup. It is a native product to Ohio. Monkey Bread is also known as Bubble Bread. It is a blast to make with kids.
