This easy cinnamon roll pull-apart bread has all the buttery cinnamon-sugar flavor of homemade cinnamon rolls, without all the work! The dough is quickly rolled into balls, coated in melted butter and covered in gooey cinnamon filling then spread with luscious cream cheese frosting.

It’s basically what would happen if our favorite homemade cinnamon rolls and monkey bread got together, except I might like this version even more because you don’t have instead of being rolled into individual spirals you just roll, dunk, coat and bake!

And whatever you do, don’t skip the frosting while the bread is warm. It melts down between all those cinnamon-y pieces and you’re looking at the gooiest pan of deliciousness.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Dough

• Warm water: Provides the warm liquid needed to activate the yeast. It should feel warm, never hot.
• Heavy cream: Adds richness and helps create an extra-soft, tender bread.
• Instant yeast: Gives the bread its rise. Your 4½ teaspoons equals 2 standard packets, which I would mention because that’s much easier for readers.
• Granulated sugar: Sweetens the dough and gives the yeast a little boost as it activates.
• Buttermilk: Adds moisture, richness and a subtle tang that balances all that cinnamon sugar.
• Sea salt: Essential for balancing the sweetness a

I love summer! Being warm in the sun and sitting by the pool while the kids play is my happy place (I’m writing this post in the middle of winter so it sounds especially lovely right now!)! I love busting out the grill to make our grilled flank steak or mango salsa grilled chicken. And I love allllllll the summer produce.

This cantaloupe bread recipe uses sweet, ripe cantaloupe, and a hint of spices to produce a soft, warm loaf of bread. If you’re not sure what to make with cantaloupe other than a bowl of fruit, this is the best recipe you could ever find!

Cantaloupe Bread Recipe

My mom planted cantaloupe. The melon I hated as a kid. And it ended up that it was 100 times better home grown! There was now only one problem, it was exploding in her garden, so we had no choice but to find new recipes to use it in. Which got us thinking, if zucchini produces an over abundance and it makes good bread, could cantaloupe work like a banana, applesauce and zucchini and produce the same? PBS in Iowa had a recipe so we set out to try it!

I’m sorry for how many photos were added, but it was just so good. I changed the cinnamon and ginger from other recipes to pumpkin pie spice because it was in the front of my cabinet. I also used oil instead of butter and no milk as it wasn’t needed.

How to Pick Out a Good Cantaloupe

Feel the weight: It should feel heavy for its size, which means it’s juicy.

Check the stem end: Look for a smooth, slightly sunken scar where the stem was attached. Avoid melons with a pointy or jagged stem end.

Look at the color: A ripe cantaloupe has a warm golden or beige background, not green or gray.

Smell it: Give the blossom end a sniff. It should have a sweet, melon aroma. No smell usually means it’s underripe.

Press gently: It should give slightly at the blossom end, but not feel soft or mushy.

Inspect the netting: The netted skin should be raised and well-defined, not smooth or flat.

Avoid blemishes: Skip melons with cracks, soft spots, or large bruises.

Ingredients for Cantaloupe Bread

• Cantaloupe: Adds natural sweetness, flavor, and moisture that keeps the bread tender (similar to zucchini or banana in quick bread).
• Eggs: Bind the ingredients together, add structure, and help the bread rise.
• Vegetable Oil: Provides richness and keeps the crumb soft and moist.
• Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the bread and balances the subtle flavor of the cantaloupe.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor and adds depth of flavor.
• Flour: The base structure of the bread, holding everything together.
• Salt: Enhances flavors and balances the sweetness.
• Baking Soda: Works with the acidic components to help the bread rise.
• Baking Powder: Gives additional lift for a fluffy, tender loaf.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice: Adds warmth and cozy spice notes that complement the sweet cantaloupe.

Sweet Cream Biscuits are a flaky biscuit made with heavy cream! This is the BEST biscuit you’ll ever make – completely from scratch and very easy to make. Using simple ingredients like flour, butter, baking powder, sugar and cream you’ll be busting out tender biscuits for Sunday brunch every weekend!

My favorite way to enjoy these biscuits is to make my famous strawberry shortcake (I have the easiest tip for the strawberries that makes strawberry shortcake the best summer dessert!) or with a little swipe of freezer jam on a lazy weekend morning.

Why This Recipe Won’t Fail

Cream Biscuits are the perfect biscuit, especially if you’re not used to making biscuits from scratch. They’ve got a sugary, crunchy outside and a soft and fluffy inside.

The heavy cream makes the difference! The fat from heavy cream makes these biscuits soft and moist because the water doesn’t evaporate out as quickly as milk.

Unsalted Butter is king!! During baking, the water in the butter evaporates into steam, this steam leaves behind air pockets that contribute to the craveable flaky texture of a biscuit! 

Ingredients in Southern Sweet Cream Biscuits

• Heavy Whipping Cream: This is one of the most important ingredients in a sweet cream biscuit. It adds liquid to combine the dry ingredients AND adds fat required for a tender and moist biscuit.
• Flour: I always use all purpose flour because it’s simple and has the correct protein for a flaky biscuit. See below for self rising substitute.
• Sugar: We are making sweet biscuits so a hint of sweet is essential. I especially love the crunchy texture on top with the sanding or turbinado sugar.
• Baking Powder: Give those babies height!
• Butter: Bringing the fat and the chemistry behind flaky layers.
• Egg: Adds a little richness so the biscuits bake up soft and tender.
• Salt: Just enough to balance the sweetness and bring out the flavor.
• Egg White: Brushed on top for that pretty golden shine.
• Sanding Sugar: The sparkling, sweet crunch that makes them feel extra special.

How to Make Sweet Cream Biscuits

1. Prep: Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk: Whisk together the dry ingredients.
3. Toss: Toss the butter in the dry ingredient until well coated. Use a pastry cutter to mix in the butter.
4. Cream: Beat the egg into the heavy cream and stir into the dry ingredients until combined. Mixture will be wet.
5. Fold and Press: Turn the dough out onto a floured
