Reviews
Nothing special. Wouldn’t make it again.
II made for the family and they loved it. They had me put on the sweet glaze stuff too. I have never had monkey bread and learned I hate it. Too sweet, but I loved the roll itself.
Made a batch of the dough and rolled each ball flat, filled with a blop of steamed prunes, orange zest,sugar and a dash of spiced dark rum & tossed in the processor, brushed with butter and let rise for 1/2 hr.
Big hit at the get together. Only variation was I accidentally put all 3 eggs into the batter but it really worked in my favor and I just added a little more flour to compensate for the extra moisture. This recipe for dough can stand on it’s own and would make excellent dinner rolls or filled with thinks like carmalized onions, meats with cheese…
This recipe will stay with me forever!

I love this bread. It’s the only recipe that I could find that doesn’t use refrigerator biscuits or is overly sweet with sugar, raisins, caramel sauce. It’s a wonderful recipe.
