Pull-apart cinnamon bread is a new twist on those classic cinnamon rolls. Just like the cinnamon roll, this is a bomb as well, but it is also easier to share. Now the easiest way to make this is by making the overnight sweet baking dough, or if you don’t have time for that you can always make the quick version. However, in the mixing process, it is important that you add one additional ingredient, fresh green cardamom. Make sure it is the fresh type, and make sure to grind those small black seeds in your grinder before adding it.
If you heat the cinnamon in a hot frying pan before sprinkling it onto the rolled out Pull-apart cinnamon bread that will also take the taste up a notch.
Now for this one we are going to use a bit different filling than the normal cinnamon rolls, we are going to add Vanilla custard in addition. So head on over to the vanilla custard recipe and get that ready in the fridge.
