Monkey bread

Monkey bread, also called sticky bread, African coffee cake, golden crown, pinch-me cake, bubbleloaf and monkey brains is a sticky, gooey pastry served in the United States for breakfast.[1] The origin of the term monkey bread is uncertain. Possible etymologies include that the bread resembles the monkey puzzle tree,[2] or the act of several people pulling at the bread is reminiscent of monkey behavior.[citation needed] Recipes for the bread first appeared in American women's magazines and community cookbooks in the 1950s, and the dish is still virtually unknown outside the United States. The bread is made with pieces of sweet yeast dough (often frozen) which are baked in a cake pan at high heat after first being individually covered in melted butter, cinnamon, sugar and chopped pecans.[3] It is traditionally served hot so that the baked segments can be easily torn away with the fingers and eaten by hand.
