Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Monkey bread is biscuit dough cut into pieces, then you dip each piece in melted butter, shake it in cinnamon sugar and put in a pan. the pieces stack on each other. when you cook it it makes an awesome yummy thing! http://www.nickjr.com/home/playful_parent_04/boots_monkey_bread.jhtml?minibar=tr\ ue esther_p210 wrote: > > My oldest has made 'monkey bread' in Home Ec classes at school. > She thinks it's the greatest thing.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hi Esther - There is a recipe for GF monkey bread in the files section of the list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SillyYaks/files/GF% 20Recipes/Breads/SillyYaks%20Recipe%20-%20GF%20Monkey%20Bread had posted that she tried the recipe and like it (dec 05). If you and your DD try it, let us know if she thinks it's a good replica of the glutinous versions.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 There is a recipe for it in the files. The kids and I made it and it was quite good. Tasted like an elephant ear If you can't find it let me know and I can dig it out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Ok, I had never heard of monkey bread, but you guys made me curious, so I made a batch. It was a big hit with DH- in fact, I left half of it with him on the couch and he shamefacedly brought it in saying, " You gotta take this stuff away from me, I ate half of it. " I thought he was joking, until I looked at the remnants. Haha. Good recipe, but pretty guilt inducing, ingredient wise. DH gave it an 8/10, and I'd give it 7/10, partly because i had trouble getting it to bake evenly and bit into an uncooked bit of dough. Here's a picture of the monkey bread! I didn't add any melted margarine to the top, just sprayed it with butter flavored cooking spray and sprinkled some sugar on top. http://health.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/SillyYaks/photos/view/b600?b=27 If the link doesn't work, go to Photos and Seamaiden's Recipe trials, and the picture of monkey bread is on on page two. > > There is a recipe for it in the files.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'm not sure that I'm looking at the right recipe, but the one I used that was in Breads/ Sweet Breads had 1/2 c. potato starch 3/4 c. cornstarch as the flour. I couldn't get that link to work for some reason.. - > > OK, totally dense Esther here.... > > What makes this monkey bread recipe " bread " -ish? It seems to have > no flour of any kind.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I wondered the same thing when we made them but after tasting the end result, I decided we didn't care!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Well after hearing all the talk about Monkey bread, I made it today for my daughter and EVERYONE loved it. In fact it was so good that there is nothing left, so I guess I will make more. I couldn't believe how great potato and corn starch cooked up, it was amazing. Thanks for sharing the recipe--it was nice to have something warm and sweet for my kids when they came home from school again.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Here it is: 1/3 c. shortening (can replace 1 tbs with soy lecithin) 1/2 c. potato starch 3/4 c. cornstarch 1 3/4 tsp xanthan gum 1 TBL baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda 1 TBL sugar (I doubled the sugar for monkey balls) 3/4 c. milk (can also add 1 tsp vinegar) 1/2 tsp salt > Preheat oven to 375. Blend all ingredients. I drop by a small ice cream scoop balls of batter into a cinnamon/sugar mixture. Shake it around to coat and then place ball into a greased baking dish. After all the batter is coated and placed in a baking dish, (you can have a single layer or double it up) I drizzled margarine on top. Then bake for 20 to 25 minutes. > > Could someone repost this recipe, please?

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 The recipe I used pre-GF days was for "Sticky Buns". It had not only the brown sugar and butter, but called for 1 pack of vanilla pudding (the COOK type), and 2-3 tbps of milk. It made a slighly more caramel type coating. VERY yummy. I haven't yet tried it with GF rolls, but may be forced to if we keep talking about these.... ) Cheryl in MNrxp_us@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
