+finelines spa You can definitely use all-purpose flour for the monkey bread.  Bread flour has more glutton so it will make a slightly lighter bread.

+Phyllis Stokes Thank you.

+LilBit AtATime When it is cool you really just pull it part with your fingers.  We have of course finished the first loaf and I have the other two still in the freezer.

+Tressa Daigle  I usually put it on the counter to thaw and sometimes warm it in the oven after thawing, it only takes a few minutes to warm.

+Dragonslayer Games My tip would be to make the batter thinner and cook at a lower temperature.

+Sharon Cleary I have no idea why it's called monkey bread maybe some of the readers know.

+Donna M. Schmid  The same dough could easily be used for cinnamon rolls.

+Phyllis Stokes thank you for such good detail! We just moved to a house built in 1953, and the hardware is gaudy brass replaced in the sixties. It was a wood grain, but someone has painted it badly! I love it though, so I would like to do something similar to yours. I love all the built ins and lazy Susans that I wouldn't have in a new kitchen. Good news about the arborite counters! Would love a tile tile them, and they are still in fantastic shape, so we will go over them! There is nothing nicer than simple cupboards painted! This house is so practical, that I don't want it improved like the new ones we have had! The kitchen has room for everything, canning utensils to turkey roasters, so there is no way I would give it up for shallow shelves and partial board! Thanks again for your experience. In order to make a job of it, I think stripping is unavoidable, so it won't chip.

+Anne Nonamouse  I completely updated my kitchen several years ago.My cabinets were from the 1950 and were made of knotty pine, which I did not like because they made the kitchen too dark (it was like a cave in there).  The cabinets were very well built by  a gentleman who owned the house in the 1950's.  I stripped all the cabinets, sanded, primed, painted them white  and replaced all the knobs with more updated hardware.The counter tops were red Formica also from the 1950's.  I replace the kitchen sink which was 1 1/2" thick porcelain  weighting in at 200 lbs. with stainless steel sinks.  The counter tops are a ceramic floor tile from about 7 years ago. The old counter tops were easily removed because they had been there so long.  You can put tile over Formica if it's still firmly attached to the plywood underneath.  I always use outside paint inside (it no longer contains lead) because I have found it to be much more durable.  In the kitchen I used semi-gloss Valspar paint.
