Sharing Bread

This morning we made Sharing Bread (aka Monkey Bread) for our lazy Saturday morning. Sharing Bread is something we made in preschool to help our kids learn about Jesus feeding the 5000 and the little boy that shared the bread and fish he had to feed a multitude. This recipe was found on Pillsbury's website. It is DELICIOUS but not something you need to eat frequently since it is full of butter and sugar (SO GOOD).

This is a great recipe to get your kids cooking since little hands can break up the biscuit dough and shake the bag of sugar and cinnamon. They can do pretty much every step but handling the oven. It also looks pretty and is great for brunches!
