Directions
Easy Yeast Rolls (Or Monkey Bread),This is a wonderful recipe to do with children. I have done with kids as young as 3 and as old as 9. This is also a good recipe for anyone who is intimidated by yeast breads. The recipe originated with Jane Zukin’s Dairy-Free Cookbook, which helped me not panic when we figured out that my daughter is severely allergic to milk protein. Monkey Bread is somewhat traditional in the South. It is called Monkey Bread because you eat it like monkeys – tearing off chunks to eat.,Can these be made ahead and frozen?,Yummy! I shouldn’t have promised to share! These are too good to share.
The Cinnamon/Sugar mix used was :1 cup sugar; 2 teaspoons cinnamon; 1 cup brown sugar; 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, arrange in between dough balls when placing in tin) Baked 350 for 35 minutes

Let Rise For 15 Minutes. Note: If the Sponge Is not Bubbly and Increased in Volume, Either the Yeast Was Bad, the Water Was Too Hot, or the Water Was Too Cold). Throw It Away - It Will not Make Palatable Bread! If You Are Sure That the Water Was the Correct Temperature (and You Did not Set the Bowl to Rise in a Hot Oven (smile)) Get Some New Yeast. |
