I'd actually never had monkey bread before, but when I thought
about little balls of dough surrounded by cinnamon and butter and sugar, I realized I'd be insane if I didn't make it.
Dropping
those little balls of dough «randomly» is harder for this engineer than I was expecting.
A little ball of dough made from a small amount of butter, a tiny bit of sugar, a pinch of salt, one egg and a little flour and baking powder is then rolled out and cut into funky shapes and then deep fried.
Practice rolling the dough, poking holes in it, or making
little balls of dough and dropping them in a small cup to dump out.
