Sliced Sour Dough Cinnamon Bread with Glaze

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.

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Pulls

This bread is super simple to make. Start with making the vanilla honey butter. Combine butter, powdered sugar, honey, and vanilla. Cut the sourdough loaf 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. Wrap the bread in foil and bake until warm. Mix together powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle over the warm bread and pull away!

• I used a loaf of sourdough bread. You can use any loaf of bread that you prefer. This method will work with any firm loaf of bread.
• You can assemble the bread ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight. You may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time if baking cold after being in the refrigerator.
• Can Cinnamon Roll Pulls be frozen? I haven’t frozen this bread, but I don’t see why not! I would freeze it unbaked and thaw and bake when ready to serve.

Equipment:

• Serrated Knife
• Cutting Board

Ingredients:

• 1 unsliced round loaf sourdough bread
• 1 cup sugar
• 1¼ tsp cinnamon

Vanilla Honey Butter

• ½ cup butter softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• ¼ cup honey
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 to 2 Tbsp milk

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• To make Vanilla Honey Butter: Whip butter and ¼ 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.
