"Cinnamon Pecan Pull-Apart Bread" Findings...

And there are some emails you just HAVE to blog. You may remember me posting the recipe for Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread that my friend Julie makes…

I received the following email from Pattie this afternoon:

Hey there, Miss Poo!
Well, I tried the recipe as it was written......it came out like an impenetrable sand castle that even a stealth bomber couldn't get through!!?!! (Which is pretty much what it looked like when I put it together, only more like a bundt pan full of sand dunes that smelled really good!) I should've stopped there, yet I pressed on out of sheer curiousity. I DID give it a valiant effort and thought I'd report my findings to you. There wasn't ANYTHING that could be "pulled apart"!!!!! It took a bevy of kitchen utensils (knives, wooden spoons, meat mallets, spatulas and more wooden spoons) and a hand from Chuck to finally free it from all sides of the pan! Any other woman would have just thrown the bundt pan out, recipe intact! But being of "large girth", I was too stubborn. I was on a mission to free my bundt pan. No recipe was gonna get the better of me! And I finally won! Said pan is now soaking in hot, soapy water and probably will be for the next day or two!

I think for the safety and peace of mind for anyone who sees that recipe on your blog and wants to try it, you might want to put up a warning: "This recipe will drive you crazy!" or "Bake at your own risk"! At least, give it an asterisk....it surely deserves one!!!!!

And, after all of that, you KNOW I had to give it a taste!!!! My tongue is stinging from cinnamon and there's a piece of parkerhouse yeast roll stuck in the back of my throat....no amount of coffee seems to be getting rid of it! I haven't laughed this hard about something I baked or cooked since the infamous "scissor cheese dip" incident of 1986!!!!! (I'll explain THAT one at a later date!!!!!)
I think you should talk to the girl who gave you the recipe and have her maybe clarify it for us! I really want to try it again! And since you've actually tried it, I know that it's been taste-tested and proven! But for now, I'm putting the bundt pan away! (I hope you're laughing as hard as I've been!) Keep me posted!
Signing off for now!
Hugs!
