Pumpkin Monkey Bread with Chocolate Dough
Monkey bread, sometimes called sticky bread, monkey puzzle bread, bubbleloaf or pinch-me cake is made of chunks of sweet yeasted dough rolled in brown sugar and pumpkin spice. It’s easy to make and fun to eat. If you don’t have pumpkin spice, use 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, allspice and cloves and mace in it’s place. This version of pumpkin monkey bread is a alternating mix of chocolate and pumpkin dough, which is easy to make by first making a sticky pumpkin dough and then splitting it in half, kneading a little extra flour to one half and a little cocoa powder to the other half. So easy, even a monkey can make it!
