Raisin-Nut Monkey Bread, I made this for the first time for Christmas breakfast My husband loved it so much that he keeps asking me to make it again! It’s a fun recipe to make, especially if you have little ones – they can help Please note that the preparation time includes the time that it takes for the dough to rise , WOWW!! this was amazing Yesterday was the first time i made bread I made a loaf in the bread machine and this by hand I could not have chosen a better recipe to amake on my first day It was soo easy to make i didn’t have any problems I preheated my oven to 200 degrees F and turned it of just before putting the dough to rise It rose beautifully!!! And even before baking it, the house already smelled like bread!!! 😛 used only half the amount of butter/sugar/cinnamon for coating because i thought it wasn’t going to be necesary and indeed we did not miss the extra calories I also kneaded the raisins into the dough and it came out tasting really good It tasted soo good that i ended up eating atleast 5 pieces when it came out of the oven, and another 4 pieces in the morning with some cold milk All i can tell you is that this is sinful!! And i advice you that if you do not have a strong will power and are in a diet, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT make this recipe I am 2 pouns heavier today than i was yesterday and yes it is possible that thanks to this sinful bread I am going to have to buy another dress for the event I have in two weeks!! Hahaha well all in all, the texture was amizing, it was so light and fluffy that your fingers would simply sink into the bread as soon as you touched it The flavour was sweet but not overpowering And the pecans added a nice crunch to the soft bread Thank you so much for posting this recipes, I am all about doing everything from scratch and most of the recipies in Zaar are made with canned biscuits THANK YOU for my new favourite recipe!!! <3, My guests loved this and I can't wait to make it again We love the combination of the raisins and the crunch of the pecans I highly recommend this to everyone Thanks for sharing, Irmgard It's a keeper
