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
- â…“ cup vanilla sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter
- â…“ 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

Kim Bee
You must. It is delish.
Ann
I love this recipe..... But hate being allergic to cinnamon! Love love LOVE your pic claiming all the pieces.... It made me giggle!
Kim Bee
I could do a nutmeg or apple version for you when you visit! I do tend to be a piggie about baked goods.
Jeff
Mothers day recipe? I think so! My mom would be pretty happy that for a brunch! That is... as long as I do the dishes afterwards as well. That part is pretty key.
Kim Bee
You must. Your mom would love you more than usual.
Meghan
Great choice Kim! It looks fantastic, like the whole loaf would disappear fantastic 😉
Kim Bee
Thanks Meghan. It is wicked good. I'll be tweaking this and making it again and again. SO good!
Anita at Hungry Couple
Oh, this looks too good! I can just imagine sitting here peeling off pieces and saying 'just one more' over and over until most of it was gone...
Kim Bee
Pretty much how my day went.
Maureen @ Orgasmic Chef
Yum! Be right over!
Kim Bee
Saving you a seat!
Liz
I love Peggy's blog, too!!! And I'm drooling over your selection!!! I made this eons ago, but must try again...yours looks spectacular, Kim!!!!
Kim Bee
Thank Liz. It really is incredible. Should have tried it eons ago.
Tina@flourtrader
Sigh..this is another one that is on the never ending to do list. It is a version of this, but your picture here does make me want to check the recipe that I have already saved. Yours looks so good! Sadly I will not be able to partake in this wonderful creation until I get off my butt and make this. However, the postal service and you may be able to remedy that...
Anyhow this is a delicious one for SRC and probably one that has long since been eaten!
Kim Bee
Lol, it went like hotcakes. I'll have to make one when you visit me one day. *giggle*
Peggy
Ahhh I made it on Cravings of a Lunatic! You picked a great choice and if I had the time today, I'd totally make it again because it IS so good! =)
Kim Bee
You sure did. I love your recipe. I will be making this again and again. I had so much fun trying to decide what to make. xx
Debra Kapellakis
I can't wait to make this. My kids are going to LOVE it!
Kim Bee
So good Debra. The kids will go nuts for this.

Kim Bee
It is so yummy. You would love it.
Kristina
Omygosh. YUM. yum. yum...yum... I don't really know what else to type. yum.
I just fell in love with all of that buttery cinnamon sugar, I've never seen a pull apart bread like that, Peggy is a genius, this looks soooo good!
Kim Bee
Thanks. It really is delish. And yes Peggy is a genius. An evil, cinnamony genius at that.
Emily @ Life on Food
I am dying over that cinnamon and sugar creation. Yum and yum. I wish there was some waiting for me tomorrow at breakfast.
Kim Bee
I wish you could come over and share some. It's so good.
Holly
Ok, so how can we possibly just be meeting?! After that introduction an the fact that you made this dreamy bread... well. My bags are packed, I'm ready to run away. I'll bring the granola and you bring this bread. There has to be a slow boat to breakfast nirvana somewhere we can hop! Don't mind me- I do love me some exuberance! Be my newest BFF pretty please! 😉
Kim Bee
I know right! I'll pack immediately and meet you somewhere tropical.
I tend to be a spaz. Apparently I grow on people. Lol. Absolutely new BBFF's (best blogging friends forever)!
Marina {YummyMummyKitchen.com}
Oh this looks so amazing. I have been wanting to make this for ages. Must. Make. It.
Kim Bee
It is so good Marina. Your girls will love it. I would glaze it though. It reminds me of cinnamon buns so I missed the glaze on it. Hubs liked it without.
April @ Angel's Homestead
Congrats on having Group A's most popular recipe! It looks delicious. 🙂
Kim Bee
Thanks so much April. I was really surprised.
Kimberly
Oh my goodness ... must make this ... now!
I love a simple piece of toast with butter and cinnamon & sugar ... I can only imagine how good this must be!
Kim Bee
Thanks. It's really good and really addictive.
Steve @ the black peppercorn
Wow! That picture is breathtaking and I am dying to dive right into that!
Kim Beaulieu
Pretty much what I did. Dove right in and didn't want to come up for air.
Maria
Oh wow your bread looks so good!!!! I've never made a pull apart bread, but they look so fun! And I love anything with cinnamon!
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks. You should totally try it. It's so delicious.
