Cinnamon Roll Pulls


I've been seeing a lot of different versions of this bread floating around the internet. All of the versions I've seen are savory and use lots of cheese. While I love a good cheesy bread, I decided to go in a different direction and make a sweet version. I settled on a cinnamon roll version.

This bread is SO addictive. We could not stop pulling off pieces of this delicious cinnamon sugar bread and popping it in our mouths. The Vanilla Honey Butter that I used in the bread is amazing. You must make it. It absolutely makes the dish! It was so good that I could have eaten it with a spoon. I didn't, but I could have. Give this bread a try for breakfast, brunch or even dessert. It is quick and makes a great presentation.





Cinnamon Roll Pulls
(Printable Recipe)

1 unsliced round loaf sourdough bread

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup sugar
1 1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 Tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To make Vanilla Honey Butter: Whip butter and 1/4 cup powdered sugar together until smooth; stir in honey and vanilla.  Set aside. (You can use regular butter if desired)

Cut the bread lengthwise into 1/2" slices, without cutting through the bottom crust. Spread vanilla honey butter in between slices.  Rotate the bread 90 degrees and slice the bread again into 1/2" pieces, without cutting through the bottom crust. Spread more vanilla honey butter in between new cuts. This doesn't need to be perfect - just make sure there is lots of butter in between all the cuts. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Generously sprinkle in between all cuts. (You may have extra butter and cinnamon sugar.  It will just depend on how large your bread loaf is.)

Wrap in foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until bread is warm.  Unwrap cinnamon bread and place on serving platter.  Combine powdered sugar and milk - adding milk until you get the consistency desired.  Drizzle icing over bread and serve immediately.

Both versions sound great, but I really like your idea.

Sounds like a big ol cinnamon roll and a whole lot easier to make.

Kimberli said...

When I couldn't find sour dough I used a round loaf of Hawaiian Bread. I would bet this recipe would be great with that kind of soft sweet bread.

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

Stephanie - I bet the Hawaiian bread would be awesome! I am going to have to try that!!

Cathy, over at Wives With Knives" just introduced you. I had to come over for a delicious visit. I've never seen this done and certainly would not have thought it up for myself. I plan to give you and Cathy credit when I wow my family and friends!!

Best,
Bonnie

Carolyn™ said...

I also saw it on Wives with Knives site and was sure you would have many great recipes. I do most of my cooking when camping and this is so easy it should work really well in a camp oven.

Barbara Bakes said...

Popped over from Cathy's. Love this quick, easy idea.

Made this for the first time tonight... My family loved it!! Not only was it easy,quick and very addicting, it was o so yummy! Coffee, cinnamon roll pulls and a movie.. ingredients for a wonderful family night... Thank you for sharing.

sewsilly said...

I made two of these. One for hubby at home and one for work. The first one I followed the recipe. The second one I used brown sugar instead of regular sugar and it wasn't so grainy. It melted just like a gooey cinnamon roll. Very cool recipe.

renee said...

This will be our new Christmas morning tradition along with my homemade hot cocoa mix. Thanks for sharing this...Merry Christmas! !

Donna said...

Do I just buy the sourdough bread at the store?

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

Donna - yes. I buy it in the bakery section

Sam said...

My mom made this for my family Christmas morning. It was FABULOUS!!!! Thanks for sharing.

My hubby called from the grocery store tonight (I lucked out with a man who stops at the store on his way home without me having to ask!!) and I had him pick us up 2 loaves of Sourdough bread. Cannot wait to try this! The kids had their drolling just looking at the screen!

Mrs. Lee said...

My 9 yr old and I made this for New Yr's brunch and it was a hit! I did have to add more butter and I could have cooked it a little longer than 25 minutes (maybe my bread was bigger??), but it tasted heavenly!

I even drizzled some over leftover wheat buns for my daughter with allergies and she loved it too.

Thanks for sharing it!

Aunt Julie said...

I made this recipe but halved the butter and all sugars, and it was still very, very sweet. I cannot imagine what this would taste like if it actually had all that sugar on it. I will make this again, but next time I will use 1/3 of the sugar and butter, and I will avoid the sourdough and substitute w/ whole grain as each of my family members commented on the sour aftertaste. I bought a standard size oval sourdough loaf from our local bakery.

mle said...

O.my.YUM! I think I just licked the screen :P Gotta try this!!

Angela said...

I just made this last night and did a full step by step post on my blog. Check it out http://perfectbutburnt.blogspot.com/2012/01/cinnamon-pull-bread.html

It was divine! Thank you. And I plan on making the Bacon Ranch one soon too!

Wendy said...

Has anyone tried this with a cream cheese glaze?

Tedi said...

I tried this bread and the hardest part was to actually cut it the slices in the loaf, especially the second set of cuts. Its possible my bread knife isn't very good though. Anyway, it was delicious, even if not as pretty as the picture. I only used about 1/2 of the butter mix (saved the rest!) and maybe 1/4 of the sugar/cinnamon mix.

SDecker said...

This was AMAZING! I used my electric knife to cut the bread (made it 100 times easier) and I only used a quarter of the cinnamon sugar mix. I think next time I might try a little brown sugar in the mix. Thanks for the recipe!

Pam said...

This was really yummy. I had some leftover dinner rolls and made individual ones. Use lots of the Vanilla Honey Butter.

Just eaten this, it will now become our Easter tradition! Thank you!

Julie Routon said...

Just made this last night and it was AMAZING!!! My family LOVED it and was so SIMPLE to make...kudos!

Pattypro said...

I made this to take to a ladies brunch, but being the naughty individual that I am, changed it just a bit...I used half brown sugar & half white sugar, and upped the cinnamon to 2 Tbls. Even though there was "extra" cinnamon sugar, I just sprinkled it all on anyway. Delicious, even cold.

Rachel Reeves said...

Do you know how excited I am to make this? I just showed our neighbors and plan on making both versions within the next week!
Thank you!

Shauna Free said...

Does anyone know if it's possible to premake the bread and throw it in the oven in the morning? Thank you :)

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

Shauna Free - you could premade it and pop it in the oven when you are ready

carrie baxter said...

I have made this and it is great. The last time I used cream cheese in the icing and it was DIVINE! Try this altration.

This used to be the kind of thing that would get my paediatric dietitian into fits back in the day. Good thing I outgrew him because I can't imagine how tough it would be being able to indulge my sweet tooth.
