The baobab is the national tree of Madagascar
Common name: Baobab, Cream of Tartar tree, Monkey-bread tree, Lemonade tree, Vavababa वावबाब (Marathi), Papparappuli பப்பரப்புளி, Periyamaravakai பெரியமரவகை (Tamil)
Botanical name: Adansonia digitata
- [ (ad-an-SOH-nee-uh) named for Michel Adanson, 18th century French surgeon, botanist and naturalist; (dig-ee-TAH-tuh) or (dij-ee-TAH-tuh) meaning finger ]
Synonyms: Adansonia baobab, Adansonia situla, Adansonia somalensis, Adansonia sphaerocarpa, Adansonia sulcata
Family: Bombacaceae
Origin: northeastern, central & southern Africa
The baobab (Adansonia), or monkey bread tree are a genus of eight species of trees, native to Madagascar (the centre of diversity, with six species), and mainland Africa and Australia (one species in each). The mainland African species also occurs in Madagascar, but it is not a native of that country. The species reach heights of between 5-25 m (exceptionally 30 m) tall, and up to 7 m (exceptionally 11 m) in trunk diameter. They are noted for storing water inside the swollen trunk, with the capacity to store up to 120,000 litres of water to endure the harsh drought conditions particular to each region.
All occur in seasonally arid areas, and are deciduous, shedding their leaves during the dry season. Some are reputed to be many thousands of years old, though as the wood does not produce annual growth rings, this is impossible to verify; few botanists give any credence to these claims of extreme age.

Cindy Crawford's Monkey Bread ~
Some Years back, Cindy Crawford was on Good Morning America, And she talked and one of her families as a child's special Christmas morning treats. "Monkey Bread."
I have made it many times and it is always a hit. I make it more now for Easter now than for Christmas. Its always a great treat anytime though!!
A translucent glaze made with powder sugar, cream, rum, and vanilla.
A soft dough enriched with sour cream, butter, egg, and sugar is divided into little balls. Each ball is coated in butter and cinnamon sugar to bake into delicious pull-apart treat barely held together with cinnamon-scent caramel. Woah baby!
Recipe from Flo Braker's Baking For All Occasions. Read more about it at Dessert By Candy.

Bombacaceae (baobab family) » Adansonia digitata
The fragrant white flowers are about 6 inches across and are pollinated by bats.
Delicious. From Cooking Light. I used more cinnamon than called for, but I still think it could've used more. Very delicious though! I think I ate most of it all by myself.
Ooof. So good, though, and the dough is one of the softest, easiest to handle and best-behaved I've worked with. All from scratch -- no biscuit/frozen roll dough.

Most unfortunate picture ever? I swear, it tastes like nothing that it resembles. I'm just addicted to underexposures.
Because I was attending to a 4-month old while cooking, I accidentally browned the butter ever-so-slightly. All mistakes should be this brilliant.

My grandma taught us how to make bubble bread when we were little. It's her regular roll recipe, rolled into small balls, dipped in melted butter, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. When you bake it, forms a delicious loaf of sticky sweet bread that is easily pulled apart. Bubble bread.
I first heard about monkey bread when I was either 19 or 20. I thought monkey bread was the southern name for bubble bread (why else would it have taken me 20 years to hear of it?). Since then, I've seen frozen monkey bread at the grocery store and that only confirmed my suspicions that they're the same thing. Then I was gifted a monkey bread mix.
Generally I think mixes are a crock of shit, but I'm also not one to toss out anything edible. I followed the directions exactly, and let me tell you: it is NOT the same thing. It's bad. The bread is like bread/cake instead of like cinnamon roll bread. The cinnamon sugary stuff was all wrong - it didn't caramelize at all. Man, I couldn't even find a way to take a pretty photo of it. On every scale I measured, it came up all wrong.
I suppose it is possible that just the mix is terrible and monkey bread in general is actually just fine. If that is the case, let me know. But this... this is no match for bubble bread.
Also let me know if you've ever heard of bubble bread. I'm starting to think it's one of those things that I think is normal but no one outside of my family has ever heard of. Like eating slices of tomatoes with sugar....
