Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread!!

Dough

• 2 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 4 Tbsp. butter
• 1/3 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 eggs (at room temperature)
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Filling

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 4 Tbsp. butter, melted

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Set aside.
2. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and milk. Once the butter is completely melted take off the burner and add the water and vanilla. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
3. Pour the milk mixture into the large bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well. Whisk together the eggs and add to the batter. Keep mixing. Add 3/4 cup of flour and mix well. The mixture will be very sticky which means it's perfect. Place the dough in a medium greased bowl. Cover with wrap and let it sit in a warm place to rise for about 30-45 minutes. Once the dough has doubled its size, knead in 2 tablespoons of flour. Cover the dough again for 5-10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, start on the filling. In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl. Set aside.
5. Once the dough is ready, roll it out on a floured surface. Brush the melted butter on the dough and add the sugar mixture. Make sure everything is covered. Using a shape knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into equal sized strips (about 2 to 2 1/2 inches wide). Then cut the strips into equal sized squares. Stack the squares on top of each other to make 3 to 4 piles and place them in a bread pan. Take any sugar that fell off squares and sprinkle over the top and around the sides of dough. Cover the dough for another 10-15 minutes to rise.
6. While dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place a cookie sheet under bread pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until outside of bread is golden brown.

This recipe I found on Food Snots! These were super yummy and a lot easier then cinnamon rolls, but with the same cinnamon-y taste! I added a glaze here's how I made my glaze:  

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
• 2 tbsp milk

1. Mix together to desired constancy. 
2. I put it in as it was cooling. 

Sooooo Yummy!!! Another easy breakfast treat or for whenever! ~Janet
