Pull Apart Bread Ingredients

You only need two ingredients to make it – canned Pillsbury pull-apart cinnamon rolls and Nutella chocolate spread. And let me tell you, these two things together make the most fantastic pull apart bread.

We’re even using the frosting included in the package because, hello, frosting! Of course, we will drizzle that warm glaze over the cinnamon roll pull apart bread for the finishing touch.

How to Make Pull Apart Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Unroll the cinnamon roll dough and separate them into rolls. If they split on you, just press them back together. Slice each piece lengthwise into three thin slices.
  2. Sandwich the slices with the chocolate spread and stack them to form a loaf. Don’t spread any chocolate on the outside end pieces – all of the spread should be between the slices.
  3. Place the loaf into a prepared loaf pan. Bake the pull apart bread for 24 to 28 minutes or until it’s golden brown. Leave the cup of frosting included with the rolls on the stove, so it warms while the bread bakes.
  4. 6. Pour the frosting over the warm bread once you take it out of the oven.

How to Store Pull Apart Bread

Store the cooled bread in an airtight container, and it will keep at room temperature for two days. I like to warm the leftovers in the microwave.

Expert Tips

  • Assembly: Sandwiching the cinnamon rolls with the spread can get a little messy, so keep a damp paper towel nearby to wipe your hands as you go.
  • Baking: Be sure to bake the 2 ingredient pull apart bread until the cinnamon rolls are completely baked through.
  • Spread: Most spreads will work – I love chocolate peanut butter spread or use Nutella, Biscoff cookie butter, peanut butter, Oreo butter, or do a mix of spreads!
  • Other add-ins: You don’t want to load up the bread with too many things, but you can sprinkle a few add-ins over the spread like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or other baking chips you like.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray (for best removal results use the spray with flour in it).
  • Unroll the tube of Cinnamon Rolls carefully. If they split, just press them back together. Separate the rolls. Slice each into three thin slices, lengthwise (like you’d cut a sandwich roll). This is a messy step!
  • Sandwich the slices together with chocolate spread, forming a loaf. Do not spread any chocolate on the outside of the two ends. Place the loaf in the pan. Bake for 24-28 minutes until golden brown. Place the frosting cup that comes with the rolls on the stove while the loaf is baking to melt it, then pour it over the warm bread. Serve warm.

  2. I felt the same way when I learned that traditional K-cups add to the landfill. I do fill my own reusable cups most of the time. That way I can control the strength of my coffee. 🙂

    We’ve also purchased K-cups that are 95% biodegradable. San Francisco Bay brand (available at Costco) is one option. They have a little pouch instead of the plastic cup. We can’t “recycle” them or backyard compost them, but everything except the little foil top is biodegradable. For the environmental win!

    1. I wanted to try those ones but at last try the newer machine (the one that does pots and cups) only allows THEIR brand. So annoying!!

  3. This is such a clever idea for a quick indulgent brekkie. I love pull-apart breads, I think they taste better (how is that even possible?) than normal bread. Pinned!

  4. Every time I see someone buying those K-Cups, it makes me want to cry. I buy plenty of plastic, for sure, but those just always seemed excessively wasteful to me. Glad you’ve found a better way to drink coffee. And this bread looks ridiculous! Love it.

  9. Okay.  I admit that I had to stop reading your post half way through because I HAD to comment . . . I DIDN’T KNOW THEY WERE RECYCLABLE EITHER!  OMG.  I feel like I deserve a HUGE time out from Mother Earth.  Excuse me while I go dig through my trash . . . Well, I’ll pin this amazing breakfast first.  Okay, now I have to run.
