Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
HB-6568 · Hand-built original · American
A loaf built from frozen dinner rolls flattened, coated in cinnamon butter sugar, stacked sideways in a loaf pan, risen, baked and drizzled with a vanilla powdered sugar glaze.
Main ingredient: rolls
Pairs well with: coleslaw, cornbread, potato salad, baked beans
Ingredients
- 12 frozen dinner rolls
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, (melted)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Method
- Lay the 12 frozen dinner rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them, and leave the rolls at room temperature until they thaw enough to roll out.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, spray a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, and flatten each thawed roll to about a quarter inch thick.
- Stir the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together in a bowl and coat every flattened roll in that cinnamon butter mixture.
- Stack the coated rolls on top of one another, then turn the whole stack sideways into the loaf pan so the layers stand upright and fill the pan.
- Brush any cinnamon butter left in the bowl over the top of the loaf, cover the pan, and let the pull-apart bread rise for about an hour until it nearly reaches the top of the pan.
- Bake the risen loaf for 30 to 35 minutes until the exposed dough is browned and the centre of the bread reaches 190 degrees Fahrenheit, then let the loaf cool completely in its pan.
- Whisk the powdered sugar with one to two tablespoons of whole milk and the vanilla until the glaze pours smoothly, drizzle it over the cooled cinnamon loaf, and pull the glazed bread apart in pieces to serve.
