Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and honey or brown sugar. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes bubbly and frothy.
- Once the yeast is activated, add melted salted butter, large eggs, all-purpose flour, and kosher salt. Knead the mixture on medium speed for about 4 minutes until a smooth dough forms.
- Place the dough into a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise at room temperature for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly.
- Combine brown sugar with ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar mix.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 28 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, dip in melted butter, and coat in cinnamon sugar.
- Layer the coated dough balls in the bundt pan, adding spoonfuls of blueberry jam and fresh blueberries in between layers.
- Let the assembled Blueberry Monkey Bread rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Place the bundt pan into the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes until done.
- After baking, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
- In a small saucepan, brown butter, then whisk together with cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth for the icing.
- Drizzle the icing generously over the warm Blueberry Monkey Bread and serve warm.

Notes
Test the yeast for activation, measure flour accurately, and monitor baking closely to prevent over-browning.
