Mom’s Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread Recipe
This Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread is a great addition to your holiday breakfast! It’s a sweet cinnamon-sugared bread with cream cheese frosting.
Serving8 Servings
Ingredients
Pull apart:
- 18 Rhodes frozen Dinner Rolls
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
Frosting:
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ½ Tablespoon milk
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
For the pull apart:
- Prepare the bundt pan by generously coating it with nonstick cooking spray or baker’s joy.
- Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
- Take each frozen Rhodes roll and dip it into melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, making sure it is generously coated.
- Place the whole coated rolls into the Bundt pan, arranging them evenly in a ring. Continue layering the rolls until all 18 are in the pan.
- Cover the Bundt pan loosely with plastic wrap that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
- Place in a warm spot and let the rolls rise until they are nearly doubled and have risen close to the top of the Bundt pan. This will take approximately 4-6 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until they’re golden brown and cooked through in the center. If the top gets too brown, loosely cover it with foil during the last 10 minutes.
- Let the rolls cool in the Bundt pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully turn them out onto a serving plate and allow them to cook.
For the frosting:
- Mix butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Then add milk, powdered sugar, vanilla, almond, and salt until smooth.
- Spread frosting over the slightly cooled cinnamon-sugar rolls, letting it drip down the sides.
Notes
We’ve seen other variations of this recipe made in a bread pan instead. Using the same process but adding it to a bread pan would work. It would bake around 350 degrees for about 45-55 minutes (and you’ll want to cover it with foil for about half an hour).
