Cinnamon pull aparts

Using homemade dough makes these pull-aparts a special treat. So easy. Time involved: about 1.5 hours. 


3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 packet yeast (or about a Tablespoon)
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter OR margarine
1 large egg
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed, light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter 
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons milk



  • Combine 2 cups flour, sugar, dry yeast and salt in a large mixer bowl and stir until blended.
  • Combine milk, water and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (120° to 130°F. Butter won’t melt completely).
  • Add to flour mixture with egg. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
  • Add 1.5 cups flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally.
  • Stir in just enough remaining flour so that the dough will form into a ball.
  • Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic and dough springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Cover with a towel; let rest for 10 minutes. For filling, combine sugars and cinnamon in a shallow bowl
  • Cut dough into 36 pieces.
  • Dip each piece into the melted butter and then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Place in fluted tube pan that has been generously sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle pecans in between each layer of dough balls.
  • Combine any remaining butter and sugar and drizzle over rolls.
  • Cover with towel; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Bake in preheated 375ºF oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.
  • Cool 5 minutes in pan, then invert on serving plate.
  • Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of milk, beating until well combined. Gradually add more milk, one teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle icing over warm pull-apart bread. Serve immediately.
