Monkey Slices

For a long time now I've been frequenting a lovely website called craftgawker - it is exactly what it sounds like!  Near the bottom of the page there's the typical buttons for various social media sites and a short list of other "gawker" websites. 

I recently discovered foodgawker - the food version of craftgawker.  It is a treasure trove of gorgeous food photography and nearly every picture has a recipe!  A few of them are more about food styling then food making, but those are pretty interesting, too. 

So while I was gawking I happened upon a photo of a loaf of bread that looked unlike anything I'd seen before.  If that wasn't enough to catch my attention, the name would have been!  It was called Cinnamon Sugar Pull Apart Bread.  YUM!



Forgive my crappy, fluorescent light at night photo, please.
 Food photography is not my forte, although I'm determined to improve at it.

 Here is the recipe I used (with way better pictures), should you feel compelled to make this yourself.  A word of warning, though - the pull apart nature of the bread is very much like Monkey Bread and lends itself to overindulgence. 

If you follow the directions for slicing the dough and end up with 36 slices, each slice is a whopping 2 ppv.  It's not super healthy, but it is delicious and has a sort of built in portion gauge since you know how many points each slice is.

I recommend eating this while it's warm, but the kids enjoyed it the following morning, too.
