Hi folks.
Today is reveal day for The Secret Recipe Club. It's a group of bloggers who once a month post a recipe they've been assigned from another blog. It's a great way to show blogger love and you all know how much I enjoy that.
This month I was asssigned My Fiance Likes It So It Must Be Good. I was thrilled to get this blog. I adore Peggy and she is an amazing cook so I knew I would have endless recipes to choose from. I picked her Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread as I've never had or made this stuff. So right away it drew me in. Hers looks way better than mine so be sure to stop by and check it out. Poke around her blog a bit. You won't be disappointed.
Ingredients
- For the dough:
- 3 ½ cups flour
- ⅓ cup vanilla sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- For the filling:
- 1 cup vanilla sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl combine flour, vanilla sugar, yeast and vanilla salt. Divide in half.
- In a small bowl whisk your eggs.
- In another small bowl melt butter with the milk. Add water and the vanilla after and mix.
- Pour milk mix into the flour. Add eggs and stir. Now add the rest of the flour in small batches until a ball forms.
- Knead for 10 minutes.
- Grease a bowl and pop your dough in it. Cover and let rise for one hour.
- Deflate dough and knead for 2 minutes.
- Roll out to about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
- Make your filling. Mix your dry separate from the butter. Don't add butter to the dry.
- Brush butter on the dough. Then sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mix over top.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into slices that will fit into your loaf pan. Stack in groups of 6 and set in pan.
- Grease a loaf pan and stack the pieces in until it's full.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes.
The only thing I changed was using vanilla sugar instead of regular sugar. And vanilla salt instead of regular salt. Peggy adapted her recipe from Zoom Yummy's recipe.
I hope you liked this recipe. Now that I've tried this stuff I may never stop eating it. I would roll my dough out thinner next time though. I think I went a little thick. I'd also stack them a little less uniform. Looks cooler that way. I could eat this stuff for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's that good!
Have a lovely day and make sure you stop by the other SRC members to see what they've whipped up this month.
Toodles and smoochies! xx

Looks terrific! But you haven't saved very much for me! Fun recipe - thanks.
Kim Bee
Lol, I get all greedy and stuff. Thanks so much.
Kelsey @ K&K Test Kitchen
Yes! I've been dying to try this cinnamon pull-apart bread. It just looks so neat and obviously I'm sure it is delicious too! Great choice for SRC.
Kim Bee
It's really good. You will love it. It would make a great dish to bring to a brunch.
Gretchen
That bread looks AMAZING!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much.
Rachel Cooks (formerly Not Rachael Ray)
I have been wanting to try this. Yours looks like it turned out amazing! Love the last photo 🙂
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Rachel. You must try it out. I bet you could bling this out big time. It's such a cool concept. My wheels are spinning with ways to change it up.
Carolyn
Oh man, that looks amazing. You certainly did the SRC justice today!
Kim Bee
Aw thanks Carolyn. You are so sweet. xx
Ginny
Oh my WORD! Amazing. I think this will go on my Mother's Day breakfast item wishlist.
I had so much fun making your parfaits for my SRC post! Now I want to try them in every see-through container imaginable. I ate 3 of them all by myself. Tsk, tsk!
Kim Bee
It is so good. I can't stop eating it.
I am so glad you enjoyed them. I love what you did with them and your photos were fab. I think anything in a jar doesn't actually count as calories. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Tina (PinayInTexas)
Ohhh I love Peggy's blog! You nailed her cinnamon pull apart bread, Kim!
Kim Bee
Aw thanks Tina. I was so thrilled to get her blog. This bread is sinfully good.
Kristen
I so wanted to make that before I went gf. I still may for the family. It looks SO darned good with all of that sugar and cinnamon just about dripping off the slices.
Kim Bee
Is there a way to do it gf? I should check my gf cookbooks for you. Your kids will go nuts for this one. You must try it.
Jackie @ Domestic Fits
Your pics are looking so great! and so is this bread.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Jackie. I had trouble last night with an ice cream shot. I need to paint the blog room. Getting weird bounce back light from the burgandy in the room. Need to paint the room white. I abhor white though. Lol.
Carol Anne @ Rock Salt
Oh my, this is quite the loaf! I've never made pull apart bread, this one looks like a great place to start though.
Kim Bee
It is so good. I was so surprised how moist it is. Loved it. You gotta try.
Allison @ Alli 'n Son
I've always wanted to make pull-apart bread. This sounds so sinfully wonderful! Great SRC recipe.
Kim Bee
You must try it out. It is so good. I am in love with it now. Wheels already turning about other things I could make pull apart.

I feel like this must be the soft, pillowy version of my favorite Stacy's Pita Chips. The hardest part about baking any bread has got to be waiting for that rise. I want to eat it NOW.
Kim Bee
I've never had Stacy's Pita Chips so not sure. We have crappy snack options in Canada I swear. I know right. I was dying while it rose last night. And smelling it while it's baking is torture.
Isabelle @ Crumb
Get in mah belleh is right! I have a feeling I could probably eat an entire loaf of this bread in one sitting. 🙂
Lucky you, getting Peggy's blog this month... she's one of my favourites, and I was so lucky to have her a couple of months ago (in fact, this recipe was one of my potential picks, though I ended up going with something savoury instead).
Kim Bee
It is SO good. I am addicted to this bread. It's so good. I adore Peggy, she is an amazing cook. I think of myself as a savoury gal but clearly I'm delusional cuz I always go for sweet. Lol.
Ramona
Okay.. it's official... my jaw dropped open on this one!! I was not expecting it too look like that with all the layers. Wow!! I see how you marked all the pieces as yours... I would have to arm wrestle you for some of them. 🙂
Kim Bee
It is such a cool recipe. I was stunned by how cute it is. Then you taste it and it's like "bam" beyond tasty. I shall meet you at the arm wrestling table in 5!
Lesa @Edesia's Notebook
Wow, what a cool recipe! Nonsense about yours not looking as nice; I think absolutely gorgeous! I don't blame you for labeling all the pieces yours; I'd want it all to myself too! Great job, Kim!
Kim Bee
Thank you so much. I have learned if I don't label things the kids eat it all. So I'm turning the tables on them these days.
Katherine Martinelli
Awesome SRC pick and I love her blog!! I have been dying to make a cinnamon pull-apart bread and this is making me want to pull out my flour and sugar right now.
Kim Bee
You must try it Katherine. SO good!
Micha @ Cookin' Mimi
Oh my gravy. I have everything to make this but can't decide if that's a bad thing or not. I am sharing this on my Facebook page.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much. I say it's a good thing. Go forth and make pull apart bread.
Katrina
I have seen this a ton of times and haven't made it yet, but we all love cinnamon rolls, so why not? Must make. We're having breakfast for dinner. This might just have to be dessert (if I get to it right now)! Great post!
Kim Bee
Thanks Katrina. I always held off making it but glad I finally gave in. It's super good.
NO REASON NEEDED
You've outdone yourself again. Mmmmmm. I've only ever seen the bread made with little balls stacked in a bundt pan and have often thought I'd never get through the whole thing before it went bad. This looks like a fantastic alternative.
Kim Bee
Thanks. I have seen it like that too, is that monkey bread or something? Tastes so amazing.
Katie {Epicurean Mom}
Looks incredibly yummy!! Good choice Kim!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Katie.
