The dough should be sticky, but if you find that it’s too wet and not coming together in the mixer, add 2 Tbs more flour and mix until the dough forms a cohesive mass. Be sure to use light brown sugar for the coating mix; dark brown sugar has a stronger molasses flavor that can be overwhelming. After baking, don’t let the bread cool in the pan for more than 5 minutes or it will stick to the pan and come out in pieces. Monkey bread is at its best served warm.

“Makes one 9”x5" loaf — inspired by this recipe on Pinch My Salt (http://pinchmysalt.com/2008/03/17/orange-yogurt-bread-recipe/)

“This is the kind of simple recipe I love to have in my collection, and I have a feeling I’ll be turning to it again and again. It mixes up quickly, can be eaten plain or gussied up, and stays moist for several days. Like most baked goods it also freezes beautifully — and can be easily sliced when frozen.

One of the nicest things about cake recipes is that there are basically an endless number of them — change one or two things and you’ll often end up with an entirely different dessert. Next time I’ll make this cake using a combination of lemon and lime, or maybe even lemon, lime, and orange. Meyer lemons would probably be delightful. As always, I urge you to seek out local and organic ingredients whenever possible."
