{Milk Bar Mondays} Cinnamon Bun Pie

March 26, 2012 by Audra 21 Comments

Happy Monday! Here we are with another decadent treat from the wonderful Milk Bar Cookbook. This time, it is the gooiest cinnamon roll you can ever imagine baked into a pie. It really may be one of the best things I’ve ever had, but then again the I say that every time I make one of Christina’s creations.

The base of the pie is a concoction called “Mother Dough,” which is a basic bread dough recipe that is used throughout the book. That is spread into a pie dish and layered with toasty brown butter, liquid cheesecake, cinnamon, brown sugar and then another layer of everything. While being baked, it puffs up into a glorious dome with crisp streusel on top, and layers of melt-in-your mouth filling.

This pie would be an excellent addition to any brunch spread, but it’s pretty amazing for regular old dessert as well. I loved the brown butter/cinnamon roll combo so much, that I think it’s my new go-to for even regular recipes. It really boosts the other flavors and makes this pie even more “so bad it’s good.” (if that’s possible.)

Head over to our host Erin’s blog to get the full recipe, and stay tuned this week as I found a way to use the other half of my “Mother Dough”!

    Ooooh, I’ve been wanting to try this for a while!! I’m loving my copy of the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook. The mother dough looks seriously good…can’t wait to try the carrot layer cake for Easter, too. :)

    My mouth is literally watering right now – that looks so fluffy and warm and inviting. I need to figure out a better adaptation of the Mother Dough – yours looks so spot on. Awesome job.
