This monkey bread is a sweet, yeasted dough baked in a fluted tube pan. The dough, enriched with milk, mashed potatoes, and shortening, gets cut into pieces, dipped in melted butter, and layered before a second rise. The result is a pull-apart loaf with soft, buttery pieces that are easy to share. It's a project that takes a bit of time for the rises, but the hands-on work is minimal.
