The kids nowadays call it monkey bread but for us it was always Grandma's Coffee cake. On those yearly trips to Texas to visit it was something we always looked forward to. It's the easiest thing in the world and something you never need buy.
Bread part
3 cups of flour, 1 tsp yeast, 1 tsp cinnimon, 1/2 cup of sugar.
Mix all of this stuff together and let it rise for an hour or so, then quickly knead for a minute or so and then set aside.
Melt 1 stick of butter and make about two cups of cinnamon sugar. Form small balls of dough (I use a pizza cutter it works well). Roll them in the butter then in the sugar and then into a baking pan of some sort. High walls work best here as we have a lot of rising to do. A bundt pan works very well. Try to keep the dough balls in a fairly even layer to it bakes evenly.
Bake this at 350 for 25-35 minutes. The top should feel a bit crusty. The best part though s when you turn it over and are rewarded with the gloopy caramelly, cinnimony top. This one's for you Grandma.
