Coconut Monkey Bread


i prepared this couple of months ago,just after i tried my Cinnamon pull apart bread..i just wanted to try something interesting and different taste..i heard of monkey bread over internet.i think the name if because you can just pick up the pieces from bread like monkey ...all of them were having similar flavors..but i wanted to make it with something new...Finally dared to come up with this which turned out simple delight for any coconut lover ! 



So here is my very own recipe of Coconut monkey bread..i used same recipe for bread dough i  used in cinnamon bread..i also sprinkled leftover coconut sugar on top witch gave a really nice crust ! So,just go ahead and try this out...
