My friend, Vince, brought this dish to a potluck party and it disappeared within minutes of removing it from the oven! I guarantee your family will love it ... if it lasts that long! Vince stressed to me that the measurements are guess-timates and that he does everything by sight. If it looks like it needs more butter, cinnamon, or anything else, just add it!
Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
- 1 unsliced round loaf sourdough bread
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 + 1/4 cup powdered sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 350℉. Whip butter and 1/4 cup powdered sugar together until smooth. Stir in honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla; set aside. Cut the bread lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices without cutting through the bottom crust. Spread vanilla honey butter in between the slices. Rotate the bread 90° and slice the bread again into 1/2-inch slices without cutting through the bottom crust. Spread more vanilla honey butter in between new cuts. Stir together sugar and cinnamon; generously sprinkle in between all cuts. Place bread on a baking sheet and bake 25-30 minutes, until bread is warm. Meanwhile, combine remaining 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and milk (add milk a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency). Drizzle icing over bread when it is finished baking and serve immediately.
