Monkey bread

[noracharles]

Monkey bread is a pull-apart coffee/dessert cake type thing, made by baking small pieces of white bread dough in a sugar and butter sauce. Some people add cinnamon, nuts or raisins, and, for some strange reason, some people use margarine instead of butter.

Has anyone tried it? Is it sort of like extra gooey cinnamon rolls? I've been on a caramel kick recently, and the youtube videos of that caramelized sauce lovingly clinging to the fluffy sweet buns make my mouth water. But when I think of trying out the recipe, it doesn't really seem worth it compared to just buying a single cinnamon roll in the store.

There was an obnoxious reality show on tv at some point, some kind of The next Martha Steward thing. Somebody made these breakfast cinnamon rolls with this white sauce. OMG, it looked so damn good! I get pangs just thinking about it. What I wouldn't do for the recipe. Well, not very much, but I wouldn't mind having it, at any rate.

ETA: They looked kinda like this, except way better even: http://www.recipesfromhome-online.com/images/cr.jpg

I think I need to go start supper, otherwise I'm going to end up eating something unhealthy, I'm all hungry now :o)

That sounds like a fun reality show!

The white sauce looks a bit suspicious to me, though...

On the show it looked heavenly, promise. Yay for catching up on old comment notification, whoo!
