    Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread is probably the original pull-apart bread. Not sure why they call it Monkey Bread, I think it's just to catch everyone's attention.

    Over the years, so many variations of this recipe have emerged. While this one is simple, it's a classic that I intend to make over and over.

    But if you are looking for a more savory pull-apart bread, make sure you check out my Pull-Apart Pizza Bread or my Sundried Tomato Monkey Bread recipe.

    So whether you call it Monkey Bread or Pull-Apart bread it really doesn't matter. It's delicious! There's just something about a Cinnamon Sugar coating on baked goods.
