Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen bread dough, thawed
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- Topping:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Roll out the thawed bread dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush the dough with 1/2 cup melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
- Cut the dough into 2-inch strips. Stack the strips on top of each other and then cut the stack into 2-inch pieces.
- Loosely layer the pieces in the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- While the bread bakes, prepare the topping by mixing 1/4 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Remove the bread from the oven, brush with 1/2 cup melted butter, and immediately sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon topping.
- Serve warm, ideally with a side of icing or whipped cream for dipping.
Notes
- Allow bread dough to thaw completely before starting.
- Stacking the strips unevenly gives a more rustic pull-apart texture.
- Best served warm for maximum flavor and softness.
- Optional: Add a simple glaze or icing for extra sweetness.
