Monkey Bread With Cinnamon
Who doesn’t love this gooey cinnamon Monkey Bread? It’s like eating freshly baked cinnamon rolls without all the work. I made this in my cast iron bread pan but any bread pan will work.
According to Wikipedia, Monkey Bread was named this because it is picked apart when we eat it just like a monkey does with their food. The name has definitely stuck because it has been called this for as long as I can remember.
This bread can also be made with brown sugar sprinkled all over the top before baking. You can make a white frosting and drizzle it all over the top after baking. Any way you fix it, it is so good!!!
Ingredients
Grease a bread pan.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
Cut your bread dough into 18 pieces and roll into balls.
Dip in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place dough balls in the bread pan, three across and six lengthwise.
Drizzle any leftover butter over the top, then sprinkle leftover cinnamon mixture.
Place bread pan in a warm place for about 40 minutes.
Let the dough rise until it doubles in size.
Bake in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until lightly brown on top. Let it sit on a cooling rack for 2 minutes. Use a spatula and loosen bread from the sides. Place a large plate on top of the bread and flip the bread pan over releasing the Monkey Bread. Let it sit for 10 minutes to cool before eating. Wrap with plastic wrap if you have any leftovers.

And yet there are still people who deny the existence of Monkey Bread. I’ve seen people (“baking experts”) go back and forth about whether there is or isn’t something called Monkey Bread. I’m going to try this because I’ve never had it by any name.
