Monkey Bread Pan Question

AlexiaANDRobert

I have a recipe for Money Bread from the Pioneer Woman.

It calls for making it in a bundt pan.  Does that REALLY matter?

I don't have a bundt pan...

Nope - try this link. It gives conversions for volume

No it doesn't. It's traditional but not necessary. You do need a narrow pan though so that the dough will bake through. A small loaf pan would work also.

Go get a bundt pan.

I love monkey bread.

AlexiaANDRobert

Aw, so the size DOES matter.

(insert "that's what she said" here)

Okay, I have a small loaf pan, but now I'm thinking I may just get a bundt pan at lunch time.

You can do it without the bundt pan (I've done it) but it doesn't cook as nicely. Besides, bundt pans are awesome!

This is so weird. I was at Target yesterday looking for cool storage containers so I can pack my meals every day, and I saw a monkey bread pan. I didn't stop to read it, but I thought, "WTF is monkey bread, and why would you need a pan specifically for it? God I hate baking. Ooh look, there's a red microwave!" (that second part has nothing to do with this subject, but explains a lot about how I shop.)

I guess they dressed up a bundt pan and called it a monkey bread pan? So odd. And SO odd that you're talking about monkey bread pans today!

So I have a $10 to Kohl's and another $10 coupon so I'm just going to go get one at lunch time.  I love being thrifty.

Bec, I'd love to go shopping with you.  I like how your brain works

Holy monkey balls that looks delicious. And really easy to make. I would hit you over the head with my monkey bread pan right now if you were close and I actually had a monkey bread pan. How DARE you ask something like this on the first day of my sugar-free, salt-free diet. I hate you to pieces. (Not really. I hate that recipe to pieces.)

AlexiaANDRobert

Well, Bec, you don't need to hit me with a monkey bread pan, cause all you need is a bundt pan.  Sheesh.  And I'm sorry for ruining your salt/sugar free diet.

Tell you what, when you head down to Disney, give yourself a cheat weekend, swing by the condo and I'll have some ready for you to eat! This can be a small, tiny reward for being salt/sugar free!
