Random Internet Facts:
- Did you know? In 1982, former First Lady, Nancy Reagan, commented to White House Staff that monkey bread was named as such, “because when you make it, you have to monkey around with it.”
- The term monkey bread, initially referring to a loaf formed from pieces of yeast dough dipped into butter, seems to have emerged or was at least popularized in southern California in the 1940s.It was a rich savory bread, sometimes accompanied with jam or preserves, requiring no knives to serve.
- Monkey bread is a soft, sweet, sticky pastry served in the United States for breakfast or as a treat. It consists of pieces of soft baked dough sprinkled with cinnamon. It is often served at fairs and festivals.
- The origin of this bread can be tracked to many centuries back when sweet yeast rolls were prepared and eaten during special occasions. The Middle Eastern cooks were the first ones to prepare sweet, buttery rolls with sugar and cinnamon.The recipes for such spicy and sweet rolls were popularized by crusaders, explorers, traders and travelers who traveled from one place to the other place. Many of the popular bread variations are observed throughout the world. It is believed that French galette, German Kuchen, Pennsylvanian Dutch Sticky buns, along with bubble loaf might have descended from the same recipe.
- Monkey breadgets its name by the method in which it is eaten: picking off chunks of buttery, gooey dough with your fingers not unlike a monkey grooming his buddy (which is actually a weird thing to name a food after, if you really think about it.)
