This was the most "wizard" looking baked good I could think of to bring in for our mondo Hogwarts extravaganza day...
Monkey Bread from The Bread Bible, tweaked a little bit to cut down on the sticky/gooey factor. Sticky doesn't work well in a library. I didn't use all of the brown sugar/butter mixture, and I left out the raisins, pecans, and glaze entirely. Still turned out tasty and moist, but not so sweet that it was cloying. This is a nice thing to make for a large group of people; it's already portioned and everyone can just tear off however much they want.
No angel food pan here, so I made it in two standard loaf pans instead. It took about 45 minutes to bake.
I had been intending to dye the dough 4 or 5 different colors so that the individual dough balls would be different colors. Good in theory, but I ended up not having time to do it. I dyed some of the dough pink, and wound up with a nice pink swirled dough in some places.

Mmm, I love monkey bread. Haven't made it in awhile but it does bring back memories of childhood. =)
