I really love cinnamon!

These pull apart bread buns are soft wholemeal buns, with a slight cinnamon scent. Best of all, it’s an easy and straightforward dough method.

This is from a recipe that I have tried a few years back. I like that it is easy to make, with ingredients commonly available in the pantry. And the bread is quite soft too!

I originally made the buns with some stencil pattern on it, which was inspired from Victoria Bakes. This time, I just baked them in my muffin pans.

Over here, I used some superfine wholemeal flour to substitute part of the bread flour. You can use wholemeal bread flour if you have, or if you don’t have any wholemeal flour, simply use 250g of bread flour.

Recipe Notes

Recipe from Allie's Private Paradise. You can also bake the buns in 6" or 7" square pan (9 buns).

I find that they make pretty good sandwich buns – you can wrap the bread dough with some jam inside and bake them; or you can cut the buns and spread some butter and jam. If you’d like to use savory fillings like ham or tuna, you can omit the cinnamon powder in the recipe.
