It’s nonetheless a thriller as to who coined the identify Monkey Bread and whereas there are a number of guesses, essentially the most promising one is just that the consuming of this bread, which frequently entails choosing off items to nosh on it, resembles the best way monkeys eat.
Who is aware of…perhaps it was a zoologist who got here up with this moniker?
I first tried my hand at this recipe when my kids had been younger and there was a simplified model utilizing canned biscuits. Whereas I most frequently make every little thing from scratch that is one in all a few tried and true dishes the place I preserve the custom that’s authentic to myself and my ladies.
