Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
Think of this as a cinnamon roll in the form of the cutest mini, pull-apart slices! They are soft and tender, not super sweet and make GREAT companions to coffee, trust me. Also, very fun to make and really easy. Let’s bake some bread!
This bread is a sweet version of this garlic pull-apart bread (also so good!) and with a few quick modifications, turns into a cinnamon sugar delight. To be clear, this isn’t exactly dessert so if you prefer the bread sweeter, feel free to add more sugar to the filling.
The dough comes together quickly, no mixer required since it’s such a small amount and isn’t overly sticky or messy at all. After the first rise, it’s rolled out, the filling is spread all over, and then it’s time to slice and fold each piece into little rectangles. Place them in a loaf tin, let them rise further and stick to each other, then bake! As they bake they turn into a cohesive little loaf that you then pull apart while the bread is still warm and omg yum.
Also, if you wanted to drizzle an icing sugar glaze over it…well, you’re a genius. I hope you’ll make this soon!
