Hey there ladies and gentlemen! Halloween is upon us, just two days to go now. If you are looking for something yummy to serve to your crew on Halloween night, click here to see Fridays post which was all about hearty, filling food for your trick or treaters. If you are in the mood to make something festive for the holiday (ie…Pudding Cup Graveyards or Spooktacular Halloween Cupcakes) click here to access a complete list of my Halloween Recipes.
Today, for those of you who have an hour to kill and have been dreaming about homemade bread, layered with buttery cinnamon sugar filling and glazed with a sugary drizzle…well then. This recipe is for you. It is finger licking good, my friends. My kids scarfed it up in a hurry. If you love Cinnamon Rolls, this tastes very similar. Hope you enjoy it!
6. Cut the dough into two equal parts. Shape each half into a round ball and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Letting the dough rest will make it much, much easier to roll it out.
7. Roll each ball of dough out into a large rectangle. Spread 4 tablespoons softened butter over the top of each rectangle. Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup brown sugar over the butter. Using your loaf pan for a guide, cut the rectangle into three long strips the width of your pan.
Cut each strip into 6 or 7 pieces.
Stack the pieces on top of each other
and carefully set them into the loaf pans. Place them into a 170 degree oven
for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dough has risen up and over the top of the pans (about 1-2 inches). Turn your oven temperature to 350 degrees, leaving the pans in the oven to rise a bit more as the temperature increases. Once the oven reaches 350 degrees bake the loaves for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaves are cooked through.
8. While your loaves are baking make the glaze. Into a small mixing bowl place 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, 4 tablespoons melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk it all together with a fork until it’s nice and smooth.
9. When the loaves are done baking take them out of the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pans to a serving plate and drizzle the glaze over the tops and between a few of the layers while the loaves are still warm.
Enjoy!

Recipe from Jamie Cooks It Up!
Made it this morning & was surprised how nice it turned out & how much less effort it took. My son is always asking for monkey bread but I get tired of waiting for the dough to rise–or having to get up at 6am so they have it for breakfast. This was quick, easy & tasty good. Thanks!
Was just wondering if one can do this with store bought bread dough? Has anyone tried?
This recipe looks just amazing!!
But do you think it’ll work just as well if I used the same dough to make cinnamon rolls instead?
Miriam,
Yep, this dough works great for cinnamon rolls.

Really confused what is a cup in ounces or grams please. Mine was very wet and wouldnt come together…even after adding more flour…im hoping it does something in the oven or i have wasted some time! Lol
