Pin This RecipeSliced 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.

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.
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.
I cannot wait to go buy the bread to make this! My first visit to your blog, but now I am a follower. I hope you will drop in to my blog, and join..new friends are always welcome!

Now…if this lovely recipe was already baked and sitting in front of me, I'd be doing a happy dance. Thanks for sharing.
brilliant! so simple but so yummy
Popped over from Cathy's. Love this quick, easy idea.
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.
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
