[slo]

Monkey bread (also known by other names including plucking cake, pull-apart bread, and bubble bread) is a soft, sweet, sticky pastry served for breakfast or as a treat. It consists of pieces of soft baked dough sprinkled with cinnamon. Often a midmorning/breakfast food. It is often served at fairs and festivals.

For Me……I Monkey Bread once a year and that’s on Christmas Day. The reason I thought of this topic today is because I just wrote the ingredients on my grocery list for tomorrow’s shopping day. My DH makes this every Christmas Day, so it’s a tradition and part of a special breakfast. I dont want to eat it other times of the year, because then it wont be as exciting to have on Christmas Day

I’ve never heard of it, but it looks delicious.

I've had it a couple of times back when working. It was good.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I like it. I do remember helping my Mom make one many, many years ago and rolling the dough balls in butter and cinnamon.

I love it, but can't eat it. Mine does not have the white icing.
The grand kids learned to make it when I was giving them baking lessons and DGS would choose that to make when ever it was a week they got to choose.
Haven't made it since then......they went back to school in Aug. 2022.

My every Christmas is Gluten Free cinnamon rolls for DD

It’s too darn messy! Kids used to love it though!
My son thinks I got up and made his favorite cinnamon rolls on Christmas.
He is in his 30’s now. Should I break it to him that it’s actually the Pillsbury canned ones that are momma’s secret recipe?

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Love it ! I don’t make it very often I’ve made several different versions of it over the years it’s delicious

I have eaten it before, don't remember where. I don't make it since it is just me, so it would get all hard before I finished it.

I voted that I've never had monkey bread. But it looks like cinnamon rolls stuck together in a ring. I used to make cinnamon rolls from scratch, so it is almost like monkey bread.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I have never made or bought monkey bread. However, I have had it at like "pitch in" dinners and I absolutely love it!

 

[fly girl]

I love it!

I prefer without icing just the gooey yumminess of the sugar, cinnamon, and butter.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Like @kanerf above, I've had it, can't recall when or where. I could eat a whole loaf as pictured, I love that kind of stuff.

 

[MIGrandma]

I used to make it often while the kids were growing up, but don’t make it anymore.

Until this post I haven’t thought about monkey bread in 20 years. It’s great but the last time I ate it was a couple of decades ago with my ex-wife. I think we got it from her church bake sale and it was excellent. Maybe I need to make some.

 

[ronandannette]

Butter, brown sugar and cinnamon - what’s not to like? I’ve had it a time or two at various places, but never made it. The recipes I’ve seen call for Pillsbury biscuit dough - it looks easy enough.

 

[tvguy]

Never had it. I have only seen it in the frozen pastry section of the grocery store.

 

[GAN]

Stuff is deadly! Period.

 

[Moliphino]

I love it, but I don't think I've ever made it myself.

 

[bobbiwoz]

It looks delicious! Never had it.

 

[soccerdad72]

I like it, but never made it myself. I've always had it at other people's houses - like our annual Christmas Eve brunch at our neighbor's house. Someone they invite usually brings it.
