Tips for Success

• Don’t Overpack the Pan – Give the dough pieces room to puff and bake evenly.
• Use Melted Butter – Helps cinnamon sugar stick and adds richness.
• Cool Slightly Before Serving – This helps the bread set and makes it easier to slice or pull apart.
• Make It Fancy – Add a drizzle of cream cheese glaze or sprinkle chopped nuts for extra texture.
