FAQs

Why do they call it monkey bread?

The origin of the term “monkey bread” comes from the pastry being a finger food: the consumer would pick apart the bread as a monkey would.

Does monkey bread need to be refrigerated?

Room-temperature storage is your best bet for maintaining freshness if you intend to eat the monkey bread within a couple of days. Store monkey bread in a plastic bag and out of direct sunlight. Now, this totally also depends on the ingredients that you use. Since this one has eggs, I would store it in the refrigerator.

Can you reheat monkey bread?

Monkey bread is definitely best enjoyed warm! To reheat, zap each portion in the microwave for about 15 seconds, or place the whole thing in a 170 degree F oven, covered tightly in foil, for about 20 minutes.

Cheesy, yummy goodness! Serve with fresh coffee, cream, and juice.
