slo’s WEDNESDAY 12/20 poll - Monkey Bread 🐒

[DVCjj]

I love it hot/warm but not as much cold.
When I used to make often, I would reheat leftovers in microwave.

It appears that the OP, @slo makes it herself. Would you mind sharing your recipe?

Never made it but it is basically a bunch of cinnamon rolls stuck together with that sugary icing. I prefer the individual cinnamon rolls I make from scratch. Those are easier to serve and less messy.

Always see people on this forum mention it, but I've never had it and until I saw the picture above, didn't know what it looked like.

I don’t make it - my DH does. He doesn’t follow a recipe anymore - he just goes off memory and does a little something different every year. I don’t want to know the recipe because it’s his special thing that he enjoys doing for us

If I did have it I would give it to you

Someone asked me for my Whiskey Ball recipe in one of my polls, but I don’t remember who and I don’t remember what poll. If it was you, please PM me

I've had it, and I like it. I think my sister is bringing it to Christmas morning this year. I will have some. I stopped short of "love it" beause it's so messy. I think I like cinnamon rolls better for a similar flavor.

That's a lovely sentiment and I understand completely, thank you. I have a few Indian recipes that I don't even bother with a recipe for, either. I will look it up on the internet and will then add my own modifications. Maybe it will be a tradition like it became in your home. Happy holidays.

I like it...it's so sweet though-so I can only have a little bit

I like it -- I have a Rhodes recipe that uses frozen bread rolls instead of biscuits - it's an overnight recipe. But I haven't made it in ages and ages. Actually, since I started making cinnamon rolls, so about 20 years.

I’ve made it occasionally, but not in a long time. I mostly used the canned Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls, cut up in pieces. Easier to just bake the cinnamon rolls.

My sister makes a version with maple syrup and pecans, that they call sticky bun monkey bread.

I've had it before, but don't remember where. I liked it.

from allrecipes.com

• 1 cup white sugar
  
  
  
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  
  
  
• 3 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough
  
  
  
• ½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
  
  
  
• ½ cup raisins (Optional)
  
  
  
• ½ cup butter or margarine
  
  
  
• 1 cup packed brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9- or 10-inch tube or Bundt pan.

Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar-cinnamon mix.
Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in the pan. If using walnuts and raisins, arrange in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along.
Melt butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute; pour over biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate and let everyone pull it apart.

We never put the raisins or nuts in because people in the family don't like them.

I have never had it. I have heard of it though.

I prefer a pull-apart made with butterscotch pudding mix, butter, brown sugar and pecans - comes out like caramel rolls. That one I LOVE.

When my mom worked she had a friend who made monkey bread and she didn't even know what it was and my mom's friend gave her a taste and she thought it was alright. Does monkey bread taste like cinnamon rolls and would it be worth trying? Also how did monkey bread get it's name?
