Description

This Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart Bread is a delightful twist on classic cinnamon rolls, featuring layered, buttery dough coated in cinnamon sugar and baked in a loaf pan for an easy-to-share treat. Perfectly golden and topped with sweet icing and crunchy pecans, this pull-apart bread is ideal for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Dough

  • 2 tubes cinnamon rolls (8 rolls each)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Other Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup pecans (finely chopped)
  • Icing from cinnamon roll packages

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to prepare for baking the bread.
  2. Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix with a fork until the mixture is evenly blended.
  3. Prepare Butter: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe glass bowl by microwaving it until fully liquid and warm.
  4. Prepare Dough: Remove the cinnamon rolls and icing from their packages. Set the icing aside for later. Flatten each cinnamon roll by stretching it with your fingers into a pancake-like shape. Dip each flattened roll into the melted butter, coating thoroughly, then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  5. Add Dough to Loaf Pan: Arrange the coated flattened cinnamon rolls into a loaf pan, loosely alternating from side to side. This arrangement will resemble a braid as you layer the pieces.
  6. Top with Pecans: Sprinkle the finely chopped pecans evenly over the top of the arranged dough in the pan if desired.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Check the center by inserting a fork; if doughy, cover the top with foil to prevent over-browning and bake longer until cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Drizzle Icing: Before serving, drizzle both containers of the reserved icing evenly over the top of the warm bread for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • You can omit pecans if you have nut allergies or prefer a nut-free version.
  • Flatten the cinnamon rolls gently to avoid tearing the dough.
  • Cover the bread with foil during baking if the top browns too quickly before the middle is fully baked.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
  • Leftovers can be reheated briefly in the oven or microwave to freshen.
