King Arthur Flour Review and Giveaway!

Hi Neighbors!

I'm sure anyone who bakes, even on a semi-regular basis, has heard of King Arthur Flour.

"Making naturally pure and consistently performing flour for over 200 years is no easy task, but we take such pride in our flour that we wouldn't have it any other way. We're motivated by knowing that every day, people across the country count on our flour - on us - to make their baking the best it can be. And as an employee-owned company, that's a responsibility every single one of us takes very seriously."

I have, of course, used King Arthur Flour before, but had never tried any of their baking mixes. So, I was thrilled when they offered to send me their Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread kit to review! This kit includes the main ingredients to make a delicious monkey bread...all I needed was a little bit of corn syrup and walnuts (walnuts were optional, but a necessity for our family!)

As I opened the package to begin preparation, I was greeted with a luscious apple-cinnamon scent-it just said "fall"! The instructions were very detailed and easy-to-follow. The only thing I noticed is that the first step is to grease the pan...but you don't use the pan until after the dough sits for about 2 hours! I would imagine it is better to not grease the pan until you're ready to use it, but...

Anyways, we did have a lot of fun making this monkey bread. I think the pictures will speak better than my words, so here you go:

A delicious, home-made Monkey Bread!

The kids loved this! It turned out a rich, cinnamon-y bread. I loved the little apple bits in it, and the walnuts were a delicious add-in too :)
