Easy Lemon Pull Apart Rolls

  |  25 Comments

I love just about any recipe that uses pre-made bread dough! I started drooling when I found this recipe. They were so light and refreshing- perfect for breakfast for a Sunday brunch! They were a nice change from the usual pull apart or cinnamon roll.  A few of the sisters were over when I made these and we all loved them! I seriously had to avoid going into the kitchen because I would keep nibbling on them. I promise that you will love them!

      You cut them in 1/2 when they are thawed but still cold. They have not yet started to rise. Space them out in the pan and they will all connect together when they begin to rise and double in size. I have a pair of kitchen scissors and that works the best for snipping them in half.

    Not a big lemon fan so I am going to try orange juice & zest. I also was thinking about pineapple . Maybe bits of pineapple with the orange juice. What do you think? Thank you for this easy quick breakfast roll. Will make my family happy to have these for a quick bite in the morning before church. Then brunch afterwards. Fist time visiting your site. Not the last. : )

    Looks delish, but I am confused. The picture seems to show the rolls sitting in the baking dish with the glaze pooled around them, but recipe says, "Remove immediately from pan and place on cooling rack. Combine glaze ingredients and mix well. Drizzle over pull-aparts." If they're on a rack, won't the glaze just run off?

      We left them in the pan for the picture. You can leave them in if you wish or let them cool on a wire rack. We let them cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the top. It runs down the side and it's delicious! Hope this helps!

    Wonder how well this would work using canned refrigerated biscuits instead of the yeast rolls? Of course the baking time would be shorter... prep/waiting time would be much shorter, too, always a big plus at my house! :)
