monkey bread on turkey day

Still T minus 2 days.

Thanksgiving dinner includes monkey bread. Monkey bread is individual little pieces of bread that are pulled apart by hand. Typically, made with bread dough of a similar consistency to biscuits, but smaller chunks--baked pressed lightly together in a large pan several inches deep. Usually, it had cinammon, sugar and butter baked right in. In the family I grew up in and (I guess) through the mid-south, this is a regular part of the meal--i.e., not dessert.

Monkey bread is simple and quick to make with lots of recipes out there. Enjoy.
