Health and fertility benefits of Bread Machine Pumpkin Monkey Bread Recipe

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

1 cup warm 2% milk (70 ° to 80 °)
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast

In bread machine pan, place the first 11 ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting. Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine sauce ingredients; cook and stir until blended. Remove from heat.
When dough cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 36 portions; shape into balls.
