Monkey Bread

Here's a nice Saturday morning treat...monkey bread!! Im going to cheat a little and use a previously posted recipe to make this easy-Enjoy!

To make ooey, gooey monkey bread, you'll need:
1 batch of the Challah bread dough (first recipe on my site)
half a stick of butter or margarine, melted
1 cup of cinnamon sugar mix (1 cup of sugar to about 2 tbl cinnamon)


Make the Challah bread recipe, and after the first rising, instead of braiding the dough, form it into dough balls, (you may want to dip your fingers in the butter before attempting to handle the dough-it's pretty sticky) and dip it first in the melted butter and then roll it around in a cinnamon sugar mixture. Nestle the individual balls together in a well greased (i just used Pam spray) 9 inch pan (you can also use a bundt pan, but you'll have to double the dough recipe). Let it rise for about 30 minutes, then bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. These can be made the night before and reheated in the microwave; they are still fabulous!!
