‘Tis the season for baking, baking, eating, & more baking. We’ve been elbow deep in flour & sugar the past few days & we absolutely love it! Hey, someone’s gotta taste test all these treats, right?! 😉

Yesterday we created this chocolate raspberry pull apart bread & it was gone within an hour. We’ve been eager to create a pull apart bread like this for a while but to be honest we were quite intimidated by the process. Cutting & stacking dough over & over seemed a bit tricky but we’re happy to report it was so much easier than we thought! The great thing about this bread is it doesn’t have to look “perfect”. Regardless of how it looks, it tastes incredible & whether a professional made it or an amateur, it will always look homemade. That’s just one more reason we love this bread.

For the filling we chose chocolate & raspberry as that’s one of our favorite flavor combinations. Feel free to fill it with any flavor you’d like though! Nutella, blueberry jam, strawberry jam with fresh strawberry bits, you can truly adapt this recipe easily to make it your very own.

Instructions
  1. In large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast over the water with 1 tsp of the granulated sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes until frothy. Stir gently.
  2. In separate mixing bowl, combine sugar, & flour. Stir to combine. Add oil, honey, & eggs to dry ingredients & stir to combine.
