I haven't been using my bread machine very much lately. I usually don't as much in the summer because I usually just stick with Naan, but the recipe I use is simple enough that I don't use the bread machine for the dough mode like usual. So, I dusted it off and got to work. I wanted to do an herb bread, but remembered having difficulties making one that wasn't like Focaccia bread. I wanted yeasty fluffy goodness. I also wanted something fun, so I figured instead of rolls or a loaf, that I'd try it Monkey Bread style. This bread came out so beautifully and made my whole house smell like love. I hope you enjoy!
