If you're a fan of cinnamon and love a fun, shareable treat, you'll fall for this Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread. Perfect for breakfast gatherings or a cozy weekend brunch, this recipe combines the comforting warmth of cinnamon with a delightful texture that's both soft and slightly crisp. Let's get baking!
The star of the show is definitely the cinnamon, which provides that classic warm and comforting flavor. The granulated sugar helps give each piece a sweet coating, while unsalted butter adds richness and helps the cinnamon-sugar stick. We’re using refrigerated biscuit dough for convenience, ensuring a fluffy texture without the fuss of making dough from scratch. Light brown sugar adds a deeper caramel-like sweetness when combined with melted butter. Finally, pecans add a pleasant crunch and a nutty flavor that complements the cinnamon.
This bread pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a festive touch, drizzle it with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. It's also delightful with a fresh fruit salad on the side for a balanced brunch spread.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. While it's warming up, grab your bundt pan and give it a good coating with cooking spray to make sure nothing sticks. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. This will be what coats your dough pieces.
Open up the cans of biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Cut these into quarters; this will give you plenty of small pieces to work with. Dip each piece into the melted butter, really letting it soak up some of that buttery goodness. Then, roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until it's well-coated.
As you finish coating each piece, start layering them in your prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle some chopped pecans between each layer to distribute that nutty crunch throughout the bread.
Now, let's make a quick brown sugar sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining butter and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Pour this over the dough in the bundt pan, making sure it seeps down through the layers.
Bake the bread for about 35 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top is golden brown and the pieces are cooked through. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve it warm and enjoy the sweet, spicy aroma that fills your kitchen.
