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!!!

  8. 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.

  16. well! one learns something every day and Monkey bread never heard of. See the point but we call it cinnamon bread. ill try your way tonight for next day. Not a lover of sweetness but will try it. I love chocolate 75 % dark and smooth. 90 % is too bitter I think. I will try it poured over and set on your bread recipe later. Thank you for your ideas.Thanks for reading my blog on sirkevinshistoricfacts.com

    • The secret to this bread is rolling the little balls of dough. When it bakes and you go to eat it, do not cut it. It pulls apart at all the dough ball sections. Thank you!
