Cinnamon Pull-A-Part Bread Recipe

Prepare the Yeast Mixture

In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat until warm (about 110°F). Remove from heat and stir in the instant yeast and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tsp of salt. Mix well.

Combine Ingredients

Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients along with 2 large eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tbsp of ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Shape the Dough

After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter and brush it over the dough.

Add Cinnamon Sugar

Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Cut the dough into strips and then cut each strip into squares.

Arrange the Rolls

Stack the squares in a greased bundt pan, making sure to alternate layers for a pull-apart effect. Cover and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat and Bake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Make the Dipping Sauce

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
