In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and dry milk powder, then stir briefly.

Add egg, melted butter, warm milk, and sour cream to the dry ingredients.

Mix the dough on low speed for 4 minutes, then increase to medium speed for 3 minutes until smooth.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with greased plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface to about half an inch thick.

Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide, then cut across to make bite-sized pieces.

Toss the pieces in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar until coated.

Grease a bundt pan and pile the coated dough pieces into it.

Melt butter and pour it over the dough in the bundt pan before baking.

Bake the monkey bread until golden brown and cooked through, checking for doneness as needed.
