Not knowing what monkey bread is, I gotta say this looks disgustingly fleshy.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.de 18 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeast dough with cinnamon, eaten by plucking pieces of of the loaf.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 11 points 7 months ago

Or monkey brain instead of monkey bread.

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

That sounds delicious. I'm getting very mixed signals here

[–] GrimSheeper@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it kind of looks like a bundt cake made out of boneless chicken wings

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] GrimSheeper@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh absolutely not. I would scarf down that entire chicken mess and spend the next two days regretting all my life choices

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But I wanna regret my life choices

[–] GrimSheeper@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

We'll just have to fight to the death over it. Either way, both of us will end up regretting a few things

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Its really the only way

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It looks like you got a bucket of orange chicken from the cheap Chinese place around the corner and dumped it on a plate...

...but I know what monkey bread is and I know it's delicious

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I feel like that's a core part of the experience here. I don't know what monkey bread is and this looks absolutely revolting to me.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Best way to describe it for the uninitiated: think...cinnamon rolls but instead of rolling the dough, you slice it into a bunch of pieces and smash it back together again. After baking, the pieces separate easily

I've never seen it look like fried chicken before, though. This is what I'm used to:

There are more pictures on this recipe

[–] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I’ve never seen it look like fried chicken before

I'm dyin, lol

It's partially because of the weird shaped bundt pan that has weird curves and ridges, but it's also because I was lazy and just dredged chunks of dough rather than meticulously rolled balls. I went easy mode.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Don't get me wrong, I'd eat it in a heartbeat lol

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh my what a contrast seeing the inside. Yeah that looks delicious. Now I want some.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

It's really good stuff

[–] BobbyNevada@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 7 months ago

More like monkey brains, right? Its probably still good though.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 17 points 7 months ago

im gonna be real with you

this may taste good but doesnt look that appetizing

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 14 points 7 months ago

I'm pretty sure I saw this stuff growing on the walls in dead space.

[–] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Monkey ~~brain~~ bread

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I love monkey bread.

Would also love to see a recipe lol

[–] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This was an experiment, gotta write it down, then I can share :)

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I experiment with cooking all the time... but to experiment with baking? You are a bold one...

[–] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It looks close enough to the Joshua Weissman one, which I've tried and can recommend for sweet or savoury variations. I've done it like this, and with pizza; it's basically brioche balls in a bundt pan.

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Right on, Weissman is out there on his videos, but his food is usually phenomenal. Much appreciate the info!

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I wish he would act even weirder. I already know how to cook, I just like watching him do it 😌

[–] tamiya_tt02@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Reminds me of the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

That must be excellent, someone already ate it before.

Sorry I could not resist, thanks for sharing.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 7 months ago

I like covering the whole thing in the same kind of icing as a cinnamon roll. 🤤

[–] francisfordpoopola@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

God bless monkey bread.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Mmmmm.... monkey bread!

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 2 points 7 months ago

Are you sure?

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Maybe if it had icing it would be more visually appealing? Or maybe the lighting and photo compression makes it look worse?
