Monkey bread?!
Monkey bread?
Why is monkey bread called "monkey bread?" :p
What is it, what's in it, and how can one make it? :)
Answers:
Here is my recipe....Its called monkey bread because you pull apart the bread pieces with your fingers to eat it. Just like monkeys do, they pick at stuff.
Monkey Bread
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
one stick butter
(4) 7 ounce cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Greases a bundt pan. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a 1 gallon plastic bag. Work with 1 can of biscuits at a time. Remove the biscuits, and cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces. And then add ten pieces at a time to the bag with sugar cinnamon mixture. Close bag and shake to coat. Gently press the pieces into the prepared pan. Repeat this procedure with the other 3 cans of biscuits. Melt butter in a saucepan and add remaining sugar cinnamon mixture. Pour over biscuits. Bake at 350' for 35-45 minutes, until browned. Remove from the oven and turn out onto serving plate while still hot. This bread is best eaten while still warm, pulling apart the pieces with your fingers. Hence the name Monkey Bread.
MONKEY BREAD
3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes
1 cup sugar (divided)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
Take 3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes (10 per roll) and cut each roll into 4 pieces. Drop roll pieces into 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Drop sugar-coated pieces into a well buttered Bundt pan (don't squish roll pieces when placing them in the Bundt pan).
Put 1/2 cup of the left-over sugar/cinnamon mix and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) into a small saucepan.
Bring this mixture just to a boil; remove from heat immediately. Carefully drizzle over the roll pieces.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Cool slightly in an upright position, then tip pan over onto a plate to remove monkey pull-apart bread.
