- Good morning my dear friends.
0:05
I'm gonna start out by telling y'all
0:09
a story that happened years ago,
0:12
and I had made monkey bread for my children for years,
0:17
or if I was having a get together,
0:20
and I thought
0:24
I want something that's stronger than a monkey.
0:28
I would like a bread that would kick the monkey's hinny.
0:34
So I said how about a gorilla?
0:36
Gorilla bread.
0:37
And I am gonna add a chunk of cream cheese
0:42
in each of those biscuits.
0:46
Now that ain't monkey bread, y'all,
0:47
that's gorilla bread.
0:50
It's that strong gorilla glue. (laughs)
0:54
So I'm gonna share the recipe with y'all today.
0:56
And monkey bread, as we know it,
1:00
you can put so many twists
1:01
and turns on it, absolutely.
1:04
I mean you can bring in flavors,
1:06
you can bring in butterscotch,
1:07
you can bring in caramel,
1:08
you can bring in,
1:10
gosh, what other flavors.
1:12
I mean so many.
1:14
- [Theresa] I don't know that I've really had monkey bared.
1:15
- What?
1:16
- [Theresa] I'm sure I've had it,
1:18
but I just don't really remember.
1:19
- What?
1:21
Well you fixing to have some today.
1:24
- [Theresa] Ours is gorilla.
1:25
- Ours is gorilla bread.
1:28
All right, now I'm gonna start out ya'll
1:31
by melting a stick of butter
1:34
in with a cup of brown sugar.
1:37
- [Theresa] You might need to turn on the stove.
1:39
- You never turned on the stove?
1:40
- [Theresa] No.
1:41
- Good, you don't usually,
1:42
I mean I usually turn on the stove.
1:43
Thank you, I ain't totally helpless.
1:48
Maybe not far off. (laughs)
1:50
All right, so let me get a spoon.
2:01
So I took this into the restaurant,
2:05
and I tested it on my work family,
2:11
and they all liked it a lot.
2:14
All right, now, I'm just combining sugar
2:17
and cinnamon.
2:19
So this is nice and melted, I'm gonna cut that off.
2:23
Now I sprayed this pan,
2:24
I can't remember if it required spraying or not,
2:29
but I did.
2:31
So it's been a long, long time
2:32
since I've made this so let me see.
2:35
In a sauce pan melt butter
2:37
and brown sugar over low heat, stirring well,
2:38
cut the cream cheese,
2:39
and I've already done that,
2:41
into equal pieces.
2:45
Okay.
2:47
So I'm gonna come over here,
2:51
and just-
2:52
- [Theresa] Doesn't the cinnamon sugar go on it?
2:55
- Well let me just see, I can't-
2:56
- [Theresa] I think it does.
2:58
- It's been years.
2:59
Let me see.
3:02
You can kind of do this any way you want to
3:04
so there's no telling how I did it back then.
3:10
Mix in, sprinkle each.
3:13
Yes, so we do do that.
3:15
- [Theresa] That's why I gave you the shaker.
3:17
- Yeah.
3:18
We use a cinnamon sugar mixture.
3:22
I say we, I do for when my grandchildren are over,
3:27
and they love Ginny's cinnamon toast.
3:29
So I'll use this.
3:33
So that's perfect.
3:36
Thanks, Theresa, you keep me straight now.
3:40
- [Theresa] I am.
3:42
Do you want me to come over there,
3:43
and help you do those?
3:44
- Oh, I would love that.
3:46
- [Theresa] I just washed my hands so we're perfect.
3:47
- Good, I did too.
3:50
So all you wanna do is make sure that you seal,
3:54
seal those up so that the cream cheese won't run out.
3:58
You wanna capture that cream cheese
4:00
in this ball of dough.
4:03
All right, I am
4:08
layering some nuts on the bottom of our bundt,
4:11
and we've got our cream cheese biscuits.
4:14
- [Theresa] And there were 20 biscuits, Paula,
4:16
10 goes on one layer
4:18
and then 10-
4:19
- Right.
4:20
It's gonna be a two layer.
4:21
So two, four, six, eight, 10.
4:27
And now I'm gonna sprinkle it
4:30
with the cinnamon sugar.
4:37
- [Theresa] Yum.
4:37
- Oh my gosh, I can't hardly wait.
4:43
Mm.
4:45
- [Theresa] Now the babies still don't eat nuts, right?
4:49
- You know, sometimes they'll eat nuts,
4:50
sometimes they won't.
4:53
♪ Sometimes you feel like a nut ♪
4:55
- And sometimes you don't.
4:57
All right, now I'm gonna pour half
5:01
of our brown sugar butter in.
5:04
I'm gonna have to incorporate it again,
5:06
it's kind of separated.
5:31
I'm memorized and hypnotized.
5:37
Looks like caramel.
5:40
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
5:43
Okay.
5:45
Now what do I do?
5:47
- [Theresa] Just throw that brick in.
5:49
- Yeah, I'm gonna just drop this extra cream cheese
5:54
around in here.
5:57
Nestle it in there.
6:01
I'm gonna layer it with nuts,
6:05
and the rest of the biscuits.
6:14
And I usually use Grands,
6:17
Grands biscuits,
6:22
you know the big ones?
6:28
Okay.
6:31
Two, four, six, eight, 10, yep.
6:35
- [Theresa] More cinnamon sugar.
6:36
- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
6:43
- [Theresa] You Just can't go wrong with that,
6:45
bread, cinnamon, sugar, nuts and butter.
6:48
- I'm telling you my grandchildren
6:50
have to have Ginny's cinnamon toast.
6:55
When (indistinct) comes back home,
6:59
Ginny, I just want cinnamon toast.
7:03
The other day you just made white bread, right?
7:06
- [Eddie] Yeah, I came across the recipe,
7:09
and I thought I gotta find that bread machine.
7:11
We packed it away when you moved.
7:14
- You hadn't made bared since we lived at (indistinct).
7:17
- [Eddie] Yeah, yeah, it's been over three years.
7:20
- And we have missed it.
7:22
So that bread would make
7:26
a fabulous praline French toast casserole.
7:33
You know what I'm saying?
7:34
One of my favorite sweet breakfast casseroles.
7:42
That bread would be killer in it.
7:46
Like I said I'm just happy with
7:48
the plain old French toast with it.
7:52
But y'all do.
7:53
Can you tell them, Eddie, where to find that recipe?
7:57
- [Eddie] You know, it came-
7:58
- Did it come with the bread machine?
8:00
- [Eddie] Yeah, it came with the bread machine.
8:03
- [Theresa] I mean they can find them online, right?
8:05
- [Eddie] Oh yeah.
8:06
- [Theresa] Bread machine, white bread.
8:07
- Bread machines were really a big hit for a while,
8:11
weren't they?
8:14
And I don't know if people are still
8:19
using them now a lot.
8:22
- [Eddie] Well you know we made,
8:25
when you were selling the bread machine,
8:28
we made a pound cake in there,
8:31
and that was so good.
8:31
- Yes, we did.
8:34
I thought that was grand.
8:37
- [Eddie] It gave me that crunchy
8:39
topping all the way around.
8:40
- Yes.
8:42
This is a powerful lot of nuts, y'all.
8:46
- [Theresa] Well you like a lot of nuts.
8:47
- I do, I'm a nut but.
8:51
Okie dokie.
8:53
Gorilla bread is going in the oven. (laughs)
9:02
350 for, gosh, I can't remember.
9:06
Look at that.
9:07
Let Eddie show 'em what it looks like, Theresa.
9:13
Okie doke.
9:15
It's time to unveil that gorilla bread.
9:20
Now after it comes out of the oven,
9:23
you wanna let it sit in the pan
9:24
about five minutes,
9:25
just to cool down a little bit.
9:27
So drum roll.
9:29
(Theresa making drum roll noises)
9:31
- [Theresa] I heard a drop.
9:33
- I heard nuts.
9:36
I heard nuts, y'all.
9:41
- [Theresa] It's coming, it's coming.
9:45
- Are you sure?
9:46
- [Theresa] I'm positive, I can see it.
9:48
- Some of it did not come out.
9:51
So aren't I glad that I sprayed it.
9:55
- [Theresa] You really need to spray it really good.
9:58
- Yeah, that sugar-
10:04
- [Theresa] Caramelized.
10:06
- Oh yes, but not to worry. (laughs)
10:11
- [Theresa] We've always been able (indistinct).
10:14
- I tell you there's very few things you can't fix.
10:19
So knot you gotta get up there.
10:21
- [Eddie] We're just gonna pull it apart
10:22
in two seconds anyway, so-
10:23
- [Theresa] I know it, I know it.
10:26
- So I hope that y'all make this bread.
10:29
If you're a monkey bared lover,
10:30
I hope that you'll try this one.
10:33
And be honest with me,
10:35
and tell me which one you like the best.
10:39
Theresa,
10:42
have a pull.
10:48
Eddie, can you have a pull right now?
10:54
- [Eddie] Ooh, it's stuck.
10:56
- Mm.
10:59
See.
11:00
- [Theresa] Mm-hmm.
11:03
- See that cream cheese?
11:04
What I just bit into?
11:10
So I hope y'all like it, try it,
