Monster Bread
2 tablespoons butter
2 pounds frozen bread dough, thawed
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
raisins
marshmallows
licorice
fruit leather
Melt butter. Shape dough into a disc. Cut horizontally
almost all the way through, leaving about 1/4" uncut
along one side. Open, brush with half the butter and
sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Close and press edges
together. Roll into l0" circle. Put on a baking sheet,
cover and let rise about 30 minutes. Use scissors to cut
holes for a mouth and eyes. Push foil into holes to keep
them open. Cut deep gashes into top of head for spiky
hair. Press raisins into dough to make eye brows. Brush
with remaining butter. Bake until bread sounds hollow
when tapped, about 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue
baking until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Decorate
with candy while bread is still warm. The spiky hair is
the licorice of course, the marshmallows are the eyes,
with some type of red candy on top so actually the
marshmallows are the white of the eyes; the fruit
leather is used for the tongue and ears.
