Instructions: Unwrap crescent roll packages and separate triangles.

Dip each triangle in melted butter and place, overlapping in layers, sprinkling each layer with Parmesan cheese if desired, in 8-inch ring mold.

Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Bake at 350 degrees until golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

6 servings.

Cheese Monkey Bread was a rage in the 60s and 70s, when bakeries in Los Angeles began selling it. Clever readers reconstructed the recipe, and weve been printing it ever since: See Cheese Monkey Bread - LA Times. The staff at the LA Times later developed this short-cut recipe.
