Monkey bread

It's been a very long time since I've posted. Sorry for that but, I have been insanely busy. This one is short and simple.

I've never had monkey bread but, I love the show "Psych" and, they've mentioned it once or twice. So when I opened up my Auntie Anne's pretzel at home kit and, saw monkey bread, I thought "forget the pretzels!!! Make the bread!!" So here we go!!

You will need:

• auntie Anne's at home pretzel kit or a recipe for pretzel dough

• 1 stick of butter (melted)

• cinnamon

• sugar

• large bowl for mixing

• measuring cup

• candy thermometer

• bowl for sugar mix

• bowl for melted butter

• bunt cake pan or something similar

• plastic wrap

This is what comes in the at home kit. dough mix, yeast, cinnamon sugar mix, salt and, baking soda.

Mix your dough as the recipe states. Since there is yeast, you will have to let it sit to rise. Our kitchen was extremely cold due to the hurricane, so it was hard to find a warm spot in the kitchen. Before i get to that, I coated a bowl with non stick spray, placed the kneaded dough in it, then sprayed a piece of plastic wrap and covered the dough. i then placed a small pot of water on the stove. keeping the stove on the lowest setting so, the water never boils, i then placed the bowl over it. Voila!!! warm spot.. just be careful, the heat can start to cook the dough.

Let the dough rise for 30 minutes

Once 30 minutes has passed, set your oven to 275 degrees. Melt your butter till its warm not hot. place your cinnamon sugar mixture in a bowl. I added more cinnamon and sugar, since I knew that little packet wouldn't be enough. Spray your bundt pan with non stick spray. Set this all up so it's easy to move from dough, to butter, to sugar to, pan.
