Rhodes Rolls Monkey Bread has a rich history dating back to the 1950s when the Rhodes Bake-N-Serv company was founded in Utah. This delightful treat gained popularity as a sweet, pull-apart bread made from Rhodes frozen dough. The dough is rolled into balls, coated in cinnamon and sugar, then baked to golden perfection. Chefs and home cooks across the United States have put their own spin on this classic recipe, adding nuts, caramel, or even chocolate for a decadent twist. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in local bakeries and diners across the Midwest, where it's a beloved staple for breakfast or dessert. The key to perfect monkey bread lies in the quality of the dough and the balance of cinnamon and sugar for that irresistible sweetness. Whether you're enjoying it in a cozy diner in Kansas City or making it at home, Rhodes Rolls Monkey Bread is a timeless indulgence that brings joy to every bite.
