Ingredients

Festive pull-apart dinner rolls

• 1 batch Easy Quick-Rise Dough
• Flour for dusting

Fruitcake butter

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tbsp liquid honey
• 1/2 tsp grated orange zest
• Pinch ground cloves

Sumac lime butter

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tsp each: freshly grated lime zest and ground sumac

Directions

Festive pull-apart bread

1 On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a long 2 1/2"-thick rope.

2 Place the rope on a large parchment paper-lined rimless baking sheet and bring the ends together to create a circle, pinching to seal and brushing with a bit of water to help the ends adhere if necessary.

3 Preheat the oven to 375°F.

4 Using sharp scissors, make cuts 1" apart around the edge of the dough, without cutting all the way through. Gently separate the slices, pulling them apart, one toward the outer side of the circle and the next toward the centre.

5 Cover the dough with a clean tea towel and let rise for 15 minutes.

6 Sprinkle the top lightly with flour. Bake until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 25 minutes.

7 Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.
