One of my favorite recipes.

One of my absolute favorite recipes is so simple and easy.

It involves the following ingredients.

Phone.
Money.
About a 1/2 hour of waiting.

Call Papa Johns and get a Hawaiin pizza!! :)

Just kidding (sort of). Here is really one of my favorite recipes:

Monkey Bread

Heat to warm 1 cube butter and ¾ milk.

Mix 3 eggs, ¾ C sugar and 1 tsp salt.

Add to milk and butter.

Dissolve 1pkg dry yeast in ¼ C lukewarm water and 1tsp sugar.

Add to milk, butter, eggs etc.

Add 2½ C flour and mix well.

Add another 2½ C flour to make soft dough. Knead well. Place in buttered bowl and cover. Let rise 1 hour. Punch down and shape as follows: Roll out the dough to about ¾ inch thickness. Cut in strips about 1 inch width. Cut in pieces about 2 inches long. Dunk in melted butter and then in cinnamon sugar mixture. Place in tube pan and let rise another 45 minutes. Bake at 350. Cool for 10 minutes and invert.

Served best with hot chocolate and it is a very good seasonal gift during the holidays. You can only eat it with your fingers - no slicing the monkey bread allowed!!
