How to Make Rainbow Pull-Apart Bread That’s Better Than the Rainbow Bagel

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at NYU chapter.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen the rainbow bagel taking over the Internet—those boldly colored creations are blowing up every Instagram feed. We’ve even figured out how to make them at home from scratch, but why not try something a little bit different? This rainbow cinnamon sugar pull-apart bread gives you the same whimsical colors with a whole new flavor. You can avoid the lines at the Bagel Store, and now you won’t have to be spinning those colors to get a pretty colorful breakfast.
