Better Than Anything Cinnamon Pull Aparts

By Susan52

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup of sugar
• 2 T. yeast
• 2 cups of warm water
• 2 tsp. salt
• 6 eggs
• 6-8 cups of flour (the dough should pull from the bowl and knead without sticking)
• 2 stick of butter
• 1-2 cups of cinnamon/sugar mixture ( I used a cup, but if you like a lot of cinnamon/sugar…add more) To make the cinnamon-sugar mixture for each cup of sugar I would add 2 tablespoons of cinnamon.

Preparation

Step 1

Heat your oven to 400. Preheat pans in oven while dough is rising. Stoneware and glass pans work great.

In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring device, add sugar and yeast to the warm water. Let set for 5 minutes until frothy.

In a LARGE bowl or large mixer, add your salt, eggs and water/yeast mixture. Mix together. Slowly start adding your 6-8 cups of flour. The dough should pull away from the side of your bowl and combine all the ingredients together well. Knead for 3 minutes.

Let the dough rise for 30 minutes. Melt 1 stick of butter in a small bowl. Combine sugar and cinnamon.

Take preheated pans out of the oven and melt 4 T. of butter in each. Sprinkle a 1/2 cup of cinnamon sugar on the bottom of the pan. Start pinching of sections of dough and rolling them into a ball. Coat each ball with melted butter and then the sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Place each ball in the pan close to each other. The heat from the pan will cause the dough to start rising. Place your pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The rolls should be golden brown on top.

**NOTE: My dough sections when rolled, where the size of walnuts and this made for a 3.5 inch raised pull-a-part. If you would like them to not be so tall, then make your rolled dough pieces smaller. This may alter the cooking time a bit so keep an eye on them while they cook.

I served the pull-a-parts with a simple cream cheese frosting.

In a small bowl, I mixed equal parts butter and cream cheese, added a touch of vanilla. With the powdered sugar, I continued to add enough until the consistency and flavor was what I wanted. I have a small whip that comes in handy for this task.
