Here’s a delicious recipe for cinnamon sugar pull-apart bread:
Ingredients:
- For the dough:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (you can substitute with gluten-free flour if needed)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- For the filling:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Prepare the dough:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let it rise:
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Prepare the filling:
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
- Shape the bread:
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
- Brush the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
- Cut the dough into strips (about 1 inch wide) and stack them on top of each other. Then cut the stacked strips into squares.
- Arrange in the pan:
- Grease a loaf pan and layer the dough squares vertically in the pan. You can alternate the orientation to create a pull-apart effect.
- Cover the pan and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve:
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!
