I made Monkey Bread for the Preschool staff today.  They liked it - and are still living (at least for the moment).

Why is it called Monkey Bread?

I don't know.  We bought a doughnut shaped tin (what you see in the picture) which had the monkey bread recipe.
The bread is a sweetened dough that you put in the tin in 1" sized balls of dough. A syrup mix of butter, cinnamon and brown sugar is liberally layered around the dough.  Once baked, the bread is turned out upside down, leaving a smooth doughnut ring of bread.  Perhaps the 'monkey bread' name is the way you eat this - you pull a piece of dough away (made easier as it was originally 1" balls of dough), enjoy and then grab another piece , then another, etc.  tasty!

You can see the hole in the centre here.  It helps to evenly cook the dough in  the centre - and makes a nice shaped bread when turned out.

Sounds tasty, Bill! Still on the cake line, a friend posted this on FB to wish me happy birthday - thought it was cute!

Cute, Joan.  Perhaps a smattering of the Muppets here.

Here's the recipe, using the Monkey Bread baking tin.  For real cooks out there, you could probably make it in a normal bread tin, but I don't as I have to follow the instructions fully to stand any chance of a success.

Thanks, Bil. I'll try the recipe next week when the grand-kids get back from their sweltering holiday in Turkey! It looks good.

I like the idea too Bill - I may try it with mini-cinnamon buns rather than the driseling thing you have going on there.

 I don't care about spelling today and am not going to look up drisling  :)
