Ingredients
Refrigerated biscuit dough
2 cans (16 1/3 ounce each, cut into halves)
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup (Mixed with cinnamon and salt)
Ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons (Mixed with sugar and salt)
Kosher salt
1 pinch (Mixed with sugar and cinnamon)
Unsalted butter
1/2 cup (Melted for coating)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare a 9" x 13" quarter sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper and applying nonstick cooking spray.
3
Take each round of refrigerated biscuit dough and, using a sharp knife, cut them in half. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
4
In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt to make the coating mixture. Place the melted unsalted butter in a separate bowl.
5
Work in batches by immersing the dough balls into the bowl of melted butter and ensuring they are fully coated.
6
Then, transfer them to the sugar mixture and toss until each ball is generously covered in the cinnamon sugar mix.
7
Arrange the coated dough balls closely together on the prepared sheet pan. Any remaining butter can be drizzled on top, and sprinkle any leftover sugar mixture for extra flavor.
8
Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 18 minutes, or until the bread is puffed up and thoroughly baked in the center.
9
Serve the pull-apart bread warm, straight from the sheet pan, and enjoy the soft, sugary bites.
