Tips:

  • For chewier bread, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Be sure to grease the bundt pan thoroughly before adding the dough. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also use a regular loaf pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make a sweeter bread, add 1/2 cup of sugar to the dough.
  • For a more savory bread, add 1/2 cup of grated cheese to the dough.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the dough, such as chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Monkey bread and gorilla bread are both delicious and easy-to-make breads that are perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
