“I used this recipe for jalapeño, cheddar, onion, cheeses and bacon monkey bread. I worked in the ingredients in dough right before cutting into pieces. I dipped balls in cooled melted butter with jalapeño everything seasoning. I added cheese and any ingredie” — a cook, 5.0★
“I made this Monkey Bread today for a Mother's Day brunch. It was a big hit! Absolutely delicious! The only thing I would say is that the dough, when first mixed, was super sticky and unworkable. Almost more like a thick batter than a dough. No way could I have” — a cook, 5.0★
