This recipe looks a little too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler monkey bread recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my monkey bread turned out really dense and heavy.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The dough was a little dry and the cinnamon-sugar coating was too sweet for my taste.
