I made a few adjustments, made a double batch, and in the end it was a HUGE success!! Even better, my neighbors raved about the bread, when I told them it was a Babish inspired recipe, They got excited! I had to show them this video to show them how it was made, and they loved how they got to eat a Binging with Babish recipe for Thanksgiving tonight!

Babish was making a Monte Cristo-inspired monkey bread, so it makes sense that he'd top it with jam. A Monte Cristo is very similar to a Croque Monsiuor (I may have spelled that wrong, whoops), but instead of being topped with a fried egg, it can be (but not always) be topped or served with raspberry jam. I've never tried it, but it can't be that gross if it's so popular, right?

Whenever we made monkey bread, we only ever did it with cinnamon / sugar. I'd never considered the possibility of other toppings so it almost seems sacrilegious to me. We made ours using cans of buttermilk biscuits cut into quarters into a bundt pan

[@GrandpaCas]

Always loved Monkey Bread as a kid. Grandma would make it for me and my little brother when we were kids using biscuit dough rolled in brown sugar and cinnamon and right before it was made, a glaze made out of melted butter and more brown sugar, poured right on top after she pulled it from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes then turned it out so each bit was coated in that sticky, sweet goodness.

My mother lines her sweet version on the bottom with half a pack of instant butterscotch pudding, so that when it is inverted upon completion, a cascade of molten caramel butterscotch flows over the whole thing.
