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.

  1. Booo to mornings. Too bad it’s the only time I get to work on my blog these days…three cheers for coffee!! And easy cinnamon pull apart bread!!!!! Pinned! 

  2. Oh. My. Gosh. This looks absolutely amazing! This is just my kind of breakfast- store bought ingredients spiced up in a new and fun way. Yummy!

  3. You are a GENIUS!! My boys would jump for joy if I made this for them! They, also, are in a cereal rut. They love when I make something for them. Love this, Dorothy, pinned!

  4. HA! That is hilarious. I think Jordin is just spoiled with so many amazing treats all the time, that Cherries just seem boring. Weekends are for pancakes. Weekday are for cereal. My children are destined to be board with breakfast. 

  5. Convenience is definitely where it’s at! and love the idea to have my kids make this for ME for Mother’s day!! 🙂 

  6. Ohhhh Dorothy, you’ve done it again. You’ve gone and made my hips wider. This far too easy and accessible (since I have all the ingredients on hand) breakfast is likely going to be on the table tomorrow when my hubby wakes up. What’s another hour on the treadmill. 🙂 

    As for the K-cups, I prefer to buy my favorite bagged coffee, and use my reusable k-cup! Way cheaper, and earth-friendly, although that coffeemaker looks pretty boss.  

    1. Give me your k-cup secrets! I could NOT make good coffee in that reusable cup! No matter what I did it was weak. Maybe I needed to pack it in there. 🙂

  7. Who could say no to making pull apart bread in half the time and without the mess! This looks SO good, I bet’s it’s so perfect with a cup of coffee. 🙂

  8. Ok that coffee maker is actually super cool

    and you’re the best mom ever-clearly! This is insanely delicious
