Sausage-Filled Monkey Bread

"This recipe comes from a November 1986 issue of Bon Appetit magazine in a "Surprise Packages" feature. It's fun to make and even more fun to eat. Try it as a party hors d'oeuvre with wine or beer or accompany with scrambled eggs for brunch. Offer pickles and mustard on the side, if you wish.Rising time for bread is not included in prep time."
