Cinnamon Sugar Pull Apart Bread with Crescent Rolls
Print Recipe Save RecipeIngredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 350-grams can Jus-Rol Bake-It-Fresh Croissant Dough (or 1 8-oz can and 1 4-oz can of Pillsbury Crescent Dough)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter - melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 390°F / 200°C.
- Prepare a 8-inch springform tin by greasing the sides and either greasing the bottom of the pan, or covering the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Prepare a silicon mat or a sheet of wax paper by sprinkling on some of the cinnamon sugar (this is so the dough does not stick as much to the work surface). Open the can of croissant dough, and unroll the dough onto your work surface. Do not break apart the dough along the perforated lines.
- Brush the dough with the melted butter, reserving a bit of the butter for brushing on top just before putting the pull apart bread in the oven. Evenly sprinkle on 6 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar. Gently push down on the cinnamon sugar with your hands, so it sticks a bit to the dough.
- Cut the dough so you have roughly 12 squares that are each approximately 2-inches by 2-inches (the shape of the unrolled dough will vary by brand).
- Take one piece of dough and loosely scrunch up the sides of the dough so all the edges and corners are pointing upwards. Set it into the prepared baking pan, against the side of the pan. Take a second piece of dough, loosely scrunch up the sides of that piece, and place it next to the first one, just touching, so that the two piece support each other. Repeat the same process with the remaining pieces of dough, setting each piece of dough next to the previous piece, so that the pieces are all loosely touching and supporting one another.
- Lightly brush the top of the pull apart bread with the remaining butter. Sprinkle on the remaining cinnamon sugar. Bake in the oven for 20-24 minutes, until the top is a dark golden brown.
- Remove and allow to cool in the pan slightly before serving. Enjoy!

I veganized this by using melted coconut oil and a touch of salt instead of butter (and I try to avoid margarine). It was OUTSTANDING! I was worried, because I wanted something more caramelly than cinnamony for Christmas morning, but the bottom of it was delightfully caramelized while the top was crispy and sweet. The inside was soft, fluffy, and full of cinnamon goodness. It was perfect. Just purely perfect!! Definitely going to the top of the special breakfast list!
