Cheese and Garlic Monkey Bread

Cheese and Garlic Monkey Bread

I was very enthusiastic about the Monkey Bread sweet recipe, and I was even more so about the salty version. Flavoured, fluffy and tasty - a new danger of eating without being able to stop.

Everything feels like it's in the right place, the garlic, the butter, even the dill, which could be optional, but I recommend adding it - they are all very good together. Along with a chicken soup, it was a fantastic lunch.
