This is a fancy bread demystifying post. Got some bread dough? Got scissors?
Ok, lets make fancy pants trickster bread.
For this first one, I had made up a cinnamon bun dough. Easy to do and recipe can be found here.
First up, on your tray roll up the dough. The cinnamon sugar butter mixture is rolled up within it. Now get your scissors and cut equal parts along. (Depending on what type of bread you are using, you might like to do it on baking paper so it’s easy to move around or to catch extra drippy bits like the sugar butter here).
With the scissors, cutting three quarters through the log, so the bottom is still attached.
Next, on one side cut through a little of the attached bottom. Alternate rolls, push to the side. And that’s it. Too easy right?
Taste test at earliest availability, and then try again with the same technique in a slightly different way. It looks fancy, but really is dead easy.

Thank you dear Jane. There’s not much ‘fluffy’ business in my kitchen, so I’m really happy for the photography to be described as pure. Hope you have a good week.

I love using scissors on bread- it works great on making the epi loaves as well – with treacherously sharp points on the ends! I like the cinnamon rolls made this way!

Ha! They can be can’t they those epi points! Baked to a small hardened dagger.

OMG my kitchen garden kids would love this! Scissors on bread? That’s almost as much fun as using scissors to give the sprouts a haircut. But this looks much more delicious than sprouts! 🙂

I have seen people go at the dough with their scissors and they really do hack into it with gutso. Your cinnamon sugar bread looks divine xx

Love little kitchen tips like these to impress the family with my baking. Thanks Brydie! Hey sugar and Cinnamon is a great reminder of ingredients to use when my pantry is a bit bare too.

YUM!! I’ve never made a cinnamon bun. What kind of mother am I?! I know my boys would love it. And me too, with a nice cuppa. It looks perfectly delicious. Love the idea of using scissors – I imagine a knife wouldn’t be such a clean sweep and would squish the dough. Brydie what are the cute little circular white sprinkles on top? Couldn’t find them in the recipe, or are they a particular type of sugar?

pearl sugar Saskia. I think my one is a Donna Hay one, and I know the Essential Ingredient sells it too. It’s a European thing that crops up Scandinavian Cinnamon Buns, Belgian waffles, German biscuits…that sort of thing. Makes no difference to your recipe really, but hey it looks good 🙂

I have been checking out those “monkey bread” and “pull apart” loaves. They don’t look too hard to accomplish either and when I have 5 spare minutes to rub together I will have a go at your lovely fancy pants bread. Today I have to move 2 mountains of split wood to “somewhere else” so I might need a rest and a cup of tea after that but maybe on the weekend…

Stash the idea away for when you have more time. It’s a good one to do (or any of the scissor type breads) to do when you have a group of people over….to fit all of your very large table now!

I should have a loaf party and make everyone their own batch of dough and get them all to go nuts and create the most wacky trickster bread that they can think of and blog about it…could be fun 😉

So I now officially have a goal for this winter vortex: bake homemade bread. Will report back on if I was successful or not (I’m more of a cook and less of a baker).
