monkey bread.



I grew up making monkey bread at campouts.

A 20th-century American classic, monkey bread is a rich, yeast-leavened bread formed from balls of dough that are dipped in melted butter, sprinkled with seasonings and baked in a mold like this one. Recipes for both sweet and savory versions of the golden-brown bread first appeared in women’s magazines and community cookbooks back in the 1950s, and it has remained a favorite ever since.

Maybe that's why I think this baking mix is an amazing idea. Hostess gift or thank you gift perfection. And who would have ever guessed that there is such a thing as a monkey bread baking mold? {Has anyone tried this?}

  1. I've never even heard of monkey bread, but it sounds delicious! How do you eat it? Do you cut it or just pull it apart with your fingers and get gooey?
