Cinnamon Pulls

This is a recipe that I found searching the blogs one day and I just had to make it for a brunch with my friends.  They absolutely love it!  I cut down this recipe from the original to be slightly healthier but it is still a delicious treat.  If you really want the super sugary version check out the source link at the bottom of this post.

Cinnamon Pulls

Ingredients:

• 1 unsliced round loaf sourdough bread
• 1/4 cup butter (1/2 a stick), softened
• 2 Tbsp  honey
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp for icing
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 Tsp milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Vanilla Honey Butter: Whip butter and 1/4 cup powdered sugar together until smooth; stir in honey and vanilla.  Set aside.

Cut the bread lengthwise into 1/2" slices, without cutting through the bottom crust. Spread vanilla honey butter in between slices.  Rotate the bread 90 degrees and slice the bread again into 1/2" pieces, without cutting through the bottom crust. Spread more vanilla honey butter in between new cuts.  Combine sugar and cinnamon. Generously sprinkle in between all cuts.

Wrap in foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until bread is warm.  Unwrap cinnamon bread and place on serving platter.  Combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla - adding milk until you get the consistency desired.  Drizzle icing over bread and serve immediately.
