Strategic Cheese Variety Distribution

Creating Ian's praised "setup" requires thoughtful distribution of three distinct cheese combinations throughout the monkey bread for varied discovery experiences. Prepare each mixture separately with complementary flavors: sweet (pears + blue cheese), savory (cheddar + caramelized onions), and complex (brie + blackberries). Divide dough into multiples of three for even distribution - with 36 pieces, use 12 of each variety. As you layer in pan, alternate combinations to ensure every section contains all three types. This prevents clustering and guarantees each person gets variety when pulling apart. The goal is surprise and discovery with each piece, creating the cheese board experience in bread form.
