Handy Tips
- Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
- If you want extra gooey pull-aparts, add a bit more butter to the dish before baking.
- Let the pull-aparts cool slightly before drizzling with icing for better adherence.
Ingredient Swaps
- All-Purpose Flour: You can use bread flour for a chewier texture.
- Butter: Substitute with coconut oil or margarine for a dairy-free version.
