There are some things that I make that are almost painfully simple. And after reading some of the blogs this past week with all the complicated recipes — from liver pate to potato confiet, I really am almost embarrased to post this recipe. But.. I’m a simple cook, for the most part, and sometimes the simple things are just fantastically yummy. This is one of those recipes.
We (and by “We”, I mean my son and I), are trying to create some new traditions, and make new memories. It’s been hard after the divorce to not be saddened by what /was/, and instead, be happy with with /is/. And so I decided to do some new things this year, one of which is to make some different foods. This recipe, though I have made it in the past on occasion, is not something I would normally make. First, I don’t often use refrigerator rolls, and second, it’s rather too much for the two of us. But it is Christmas, and I did want new/different foods.
This version of Monkey Bread, aka Pully Bread, Pull Apart Bread, Picky Bread, Pinch Me Cake – whatever you may know it by, (and in the end, whatever it is you choose to call it), is ridiculously silly easy. With the plethora of names this recipe is known by, there are 1000x that many versions of this recipe. I bring nothing new to the recipe whatsoever. It just happens to be what I decided to make, and to share here. Listed below the recipe are a few other versions.
With supervision (the caramel/syrup is just too hot for little ones), this version of the recipe can be made by kids, and takes only about 10 minutes..maybe 15 minutes from start of prep to entry into the oven.
