Cinnamon Sugar Whiskey Glazed Pull-Apart Bread

Cinnamon and sugar swirled bread with pull-apart layers and a warm, whiskey cream glaze recipe. Basically a hand-held bread pudding by the bite. This sticky, sweet recipe is a splendidly indulgent brunch or dessert bake.

Do y’all remember those little cinnamon swirl twirl wheel cake pastry things from when you were younger? I can vividly remember trying to grab one after school and then spending a ridiculous amount of time pulling it apart to then eat inch by inch. There was something about pulling the layers of cinnamon apart that I was just convinced made it taste that much better. — What could be better than that? A homemade cinnamon and sugar layered sweet bread covered in a Jackson Morgan Bread Pudding Southern Cream whiskey glaze. That’s what.

By now, everyone knows how much I love to bake with whiskey creams. Any ingredient that you can simple swap for the normal milk in the recipe 1 to 1 and still have a bit on the side for yourself is a win-win in my book. Jackson Morgan Southern Creams are a line of Tennessee whiskey cream that you can bake with, sip on, and has become one of my favorite local gifts for friends to take home when they visit Nashville.

Luckily for you all, Jackson Morgan is has been expanding and is even available to have shipped to most states through their locator website.

Cinnamon rolls have been a favorite winter warmer in my kitchen for years and year. I considered making some classic cinnamon rolls and topping them with Jackson Morgan Southern Bread Pudding frosting when it clicked for me. Growing up, a favorite morning treat was simple but soooo good. Why not combine a favorite nostalgic bake with a bit of southern charm?!

Toast with a bit of butter, finished with cinnamon and sugar. The toasted sweet bread was perfect. I would search for the little patches of butter that were covered in toasted sugar. I can taste it still when I just think about how much I enjoyed it. I suppose this recipe is my slightly more adult version of that favorite.

Back to the cinnamon swirls, pulling apart your dessert seriously does make it taste better. Try it. I promise it’s true. This sweet bread recipe is made by covering the dough with cinnamon sugar and then simply stacking layers and cutting them into squares to place cut side up into a tin. Proofed and baked, it adds a seriously splendid crispiness in all of the added ridges under the warm Jackson Morgan whiskey cream icing.

Sip and be social! — Cheers, y’all
