This how to video sees a demonstration on preparing and cooking monkey bread. Just don’t ask why it’s called monkey bread, because no one seems to know.
Monkey bread, otherwise known as sticky bread, African coffee cake, bubbleloaf, amongst others is a gooey pastry that is mostly served for breakfast in the U.S.
It’s hardly what I’d call healthy, containing far too much butter and sugar to be considered so. But it does look delicious, and is clearly something a lot of people were craving for their first meal today.
Maybe it’s called monkey bread because monkeys adore it? More likely is one of the two accepted origin theories: its similarity to the monkey puzzle tree, or the way people pick at it being reminiscent of monkeys eating.
