Description

This Dollywood Cinnamon Bread with Icing is a delightful sweet pull-apart loaf inspired by the famous theme park treat. Made with soft frozen bread dough rolled and sliced deeply to create buttery, cinnamon sugar-packed layers, it’s baked to golden perfection and finished with a smooth, vanilla-infused icing drizzle. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, this bread is easy to prepare and irresistibly gooey.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed (such as Rhodes)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Shape the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed bread dough into an 8×12 inch rectangle. Using a sharp knife or scissors, make several deep, width-wise cuts into the dough, stopping just before the bottom to keep the loaf connected, mimicking a pull-apart style.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. Butter the Dough: Brush the melted butter generously over the entire surface of the dough, ensuring the butter seeps into the deep cuts for maximum flavor.
  5. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture liberally all over the dough, pressing it gently into the cuts and surface to infuse every layer with cinnamon sweetness.
  6. Transfer and Bake: Carefully place the prepared dough into the greased loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and fully cooked through.
  7. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes; then transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly but remain warm.
  8. Prepare the Icing: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk (start with 2 tablespoons and add more as needed), and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzleable.
  9. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the icing over the warm bread immediately before serving for a perfect sweet finish.

Notes

  • For extra gooey cinnamon flavor, double the cinnamon-sugar mixture and add a few pats of butter between the slices before baking.
  • This bread is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a warm treat.
