Buttery Bubble Bread

By: Pat Stevens

"Homemade bread can be time-consuming, difficult and tricky to make. But this fun-to-eat 'monkey bread', baked in a fluted tube pan, is easy and almost foolproof. If I'm serving it for breakfast, I add some cinnamon and drizzle it with icing. -Pat Stevens, Granbury, Texas"
