Hello! How are you? Things have been busy around here but I managed to find time to bake up a few things for you — and me 🙂 This Cinnamon Sugar pull-apart Biscuit Bread recipe is courtesy of the wonderful Joy the Baker who put this out into the universe for all those celebrating or enjoying Mardi Gras this past weekend.

I unfortunately didn’t celebrate — or have purple sprinkles — so its just Cinnamon Sugar pull-apart Biscuit Bread today. 🙂 which lets be honest is everyone’s favorite thing. This is perfect to makeup the night before and bake off in the morning or easy to make up the day of if you’re having friends or family over for brunch. Literally can’t go wrong.

The texture is very much a biscuit dough, so when you are making this be gentle with the dough and don’t over work it. Once the dough comes together with the egg and buttermilk and forms a shaggy dough, turn it out and fold it over a couple of times and then refrigerate it. It will be super soft but not really sticky.

Then its just about assembly and baking it off! The assembly is too easy. Roll out the dough to just under 1/2-inch thick rectangle. The dough will be about 13×14-inches in shape. Lightly trim the ragged edges but don’t worry too much, the edges don’t have to be perfectly smooth. Slice the dough into approximately 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 – inch rectangles.

Next, brush the dough with melted butter. In a small bowl mix together sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture generously across every bit of the biscuit dough. Stack four or five dough pieces atop one another. Stack all of the dough in little packs. Gently place the packs of dough, long side down in the prepared loaf pan. Don’t worry if it doesn’t fill up the pan the entire way, the biscuits will rise and fill that space. Now put it in the oven and in about 25 minutes you’ll be eating delicious cinnamon sugar pull-apart biscuit bread!

This bread is best served the day it is made. Feel free to make the dough and assemble the cake in the loaf pan up to 12 hours before baking. Preheat the oven and bake from chilled (if the cake has been refrigerated it may need a few extra minutes in the oven). Drizzle with glaze and serve just warm.

I hope you make this and love it 🙂 See ya next time!

XO,

Danielle

Ingredients

Ingredients

    For the Biscuit Dough:

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
    • 1 large egg lightly beaten
    • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

    For the Filling:

    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
    • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

    For the Topping:

    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tbsp water
    • 1 tsp Vanilla

    Instructions

    Instructions

    1. In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using your fingers, quickly work the butter into the dry ingredients until some bits of butter are the size of oat flakes, some the size of small peas. Chunks of cold butter is what we want in our dough.
    2. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine egg and buttermilk and beat lightly with a fork.
    3. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg mixture all at once. Stir into a shaggy mixture. The dough will be moist, but not overly wet.
    4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and use a floured rolling pin to gently roll the dough into a into a 1-inch thick oval. At the short end of the dough closest to you, fold the dough over until the edge of the dough meets the center of the dough. Fold the top edge of the dough towards the center over the first fold. Gently roll the dough into a 1-inch oval and wrap the dough in plastic wrap or waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
    5. Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the loaf pan lengthwise and heightwise, leaving a few inches of paper overhang in order to easily pull the baked cake from the pan.
    6. On a lightly floured counter, roll biscuit dough to just under 1/2-inch thick rectangle. The dough will be about 13×14-inches in shape. Lightly trim the ragged edges but don’t worry too much, the edges don’t have to be perfectly smooth. Slice the dough into approximately 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 – inch rectangles.
    7. Brush the dough with melted butter. In a small bowl mix together sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture generously across every bit of the biscuit dough. Stack four or five dough pieces atop one another. Stack all of the dough in little packs. Gently place the packs of dough, long side down in the prepared pan. No need to press the dough together. It should ruffle in the pan a little and will bake together and rise slightly in the oven.
    8. Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Allow the dough to chill in the refrigerator while the oven preheats. The cake can chill in the refrigerator up to an hour before baking.
    9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top and bubbling. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for 20 minutes before drizzling with glaze. Serve slightly warm. This cake is best the day it's made.
